You missed a part of the sentence:Microsoft only has Halo, that seems interesting. I might not know about other series, or I might be not interested that much (like Forza). You say Nintendo don't has a Racer-Reality-Sim like Forza or Gran Tourismo. That might be true (there are rumors about a new game, but at the moment they don't have), but Nintendo has Mario Kart, that is a good Multiplayer-Fun-Racer and F-Zero (that really needs a new game). Also you say Nintendo misses a shooter like Uncharted or Gears. I don't know both, but do you know Metroid-Prime? It is a good shooter with riddles to solve. So, what I say is not, that Nintendo covers everything first-party. But I say they cover more areas with first-party-titles, than Sony and Microsoft do. Surely, that's mostly because Nintendo is longer in videogaming than the two competitors. Also Nintendo started many series in-house, at the time they were abandoned by third-party (N64 and Gamecube). Sony and MS will surely over time develop more game-franchises and buy into developer-studios. But at the moment Nintendo has the advantage in first-party games. That all levels out a bit with third-party. Look, can you really name that much game-franchises for the other two, that I can for Nintendo: Mario, Zelda, Starfox, Fire Emblem, Battalion Wars, Pikmin, F-Zero, Mario Kart and Kid Icarus. I surely forgot some. I think every console has some experiences, that are unique. I think about Flower or The Gunstringer for instance. But NIntendo has to offer usually more of this. That doesn't mean that the other consoles are not interesting, they may be useful alone for third-party or multiplats in HD. But it means I will buy sometimes a Wii-U, if Nintendo publishes at least some of the games I'm interested in on it. And as they have to offer more, that's much more likely. But I will probably buy a second console next generation, but here I'm open to the one, that has to offer the better experience for me. |
"I say they cover more areas with first-party-titles"
and i'm saying thats pretty much not true at all and if you knew more about the libraries for the other consoles you probably wouldn't have made a statment like that
"Look, can you really name that much game-franchises for the other two, that I can for Nintendo: Mario, Zelda, Starfox, Fire Emblem, Battalion Wars, Pikmin, F-Zero, Mario Kart and Kid Icarus."
some microsoft franchises : pgr, forza, fable, halo, crackdown, banjo, perfect dark, conker, killer instinct etc
some sony franchises : ucharted, infamous, killzone, lbp, gran turismo, motorstrom, rachet and clank, jak and daxter, sly cooper, disgaea, siren, etc
i understand that you may not find titles outside of nintendo appealling but that doesn't apply to everyone
