I don't view it as misleading because it's just cold hard data.

I'm not assigning blame to any party. I just think certain trends are interesting, like for example the N64 having more success with these types of games at only 33 million consoles over the Wii with 96 million. It's not like the N64 had a ton of third party support either. Hard to argue against the data.

How you want to spin the numbers is up to you.

Your data is massively flawed which was already highlighted by the PS1-PS3 example. What you have presented may be cold, hard data on the surface, but ultimately it is pretty much the same as the stats I am using in the NFL thread to troll other people. I am cherry-picking actual data and putting my spin on it, just like you are doing in this thread. Whether you are doing this deliberately or not, the outcome is the same: It's a flawed way to look at things.


The point of the thread is to look at Nintendo platforms, the PS1/2/3/PSP/360 data is just added for fun and is unfair to those platforms as I'm not going to spend 5 hours researching each one of those systems so those lists are incomplete. It took long enough to do N64-Wii essentially (that's 15+ years, lol).

I think it's relatively well known that these types of games tend to sell better on Sony/MS platforms anyway, I just wanted to look at Nintendo in specific and see what were the best selling games in this categorey and on which Nintendo system did they thrive best.

Also fun to look back at some older games like Eternal Darkness or Excitebike 64 and see where they all stack up against each other.
