Capcom makes the best games period.

*Inserts Capital Letter*

imo, i think Ninty makes the best game period.


No way. Nintendo's are overrated.


Metacritic scores of over 90

Nintendo 16

Capcom 8

Sony 1

Microsoft 0

Konami 17

Electronic Arts 12

Not the perfect way of sorting issues but better than nothing. Konami comes out on top.If any other developers comes into it let me know.


As you have already acknowledge, that's not the best way to prove anything. Many of Capcom's most iconic franchises do not reach 90%. Nintendo's games get there on nostalgic reasons alone. Nintendo's games are also immune to the criticism given to other developers games due to their past accomplishments. Here's an example: Devil May Cry 4 is a highly percieved action/adventure game. However, the game only ranks in at 83%, and the main reason why are false claims such as it not offering anything new. The same argument could easily be made for The Legend of Zelda:Twilight Princess - GC, a game that ranks in at 95.5%. More often than not, Capcom's games are underscored for fallacious reasons (the game is hard, nothing new, ect). Nintendo's games are almost always given extreemly generous scores.


 


As others have already pointed out, Ring, there isn't much other way to go about this. Here are the ways I can imagine game quality being objectively measured:

Critical reception
Sales to consumers
A game's "longevity," or legs. Sales based on good word of mouth

Nintendo has historically the most number of games rated 90+ on either Metacritic or Gamerankings, by a wide margin. They're the best selling publisher in the world, and their games consistently have long legs.

You're absolutely welcome to your own opinion, I don't want to diminish that. But if there is any such thing as objective evaluation, then there isn't much room for argument here -- Nintendo succeeds under every possible criteria, be it commercial, critical, or lasting success.  

Again, for greater emphasis: you're absolutely welcome to not personally like Nintendo games. I don't want to undermine that at all.
