You don't need to get so hyped up there pal. You're gonna have a heart attack or something. Calm down, it's just a nerdy conversation after all.


And since you don't want to count merely "PUBLISHED?" (in your own hyperventilating words), fine. Nintendo DEVELOPED a hell of a lot of games themselves, certainly on par with what Sega developed.

But since you seem to be some bitter throwback to the SNES vs. Genesis era, I'll slightly humor you.

Yes, I DID know that Sega made arcade games (DID YOU KNOW THAT? lol get a fuckin grip already). Nintendo made arcade games too, but at some point their home console business became FAR more lucrative than Sega's was, so they focused soley on that. They also used to make toys, but they settled down on that when video games took off. They still to this day make the product they started with over 100 years ago: playing cards. What's your point? Sega HAD, if you want to put it like that, to keep making arcade games, because their home console business outside of the Genesis, was not enough to carry them. And they continue to make arcade games (in Japan) today, because the company that bought them, Sammy, is mostly a coin-op company.

As for HOME console (and portable) games, Nintendo STILL developed dozens of games (THEMSELVES) for the NES, SNES, Game Boy, N64, GBA, GC, DS, and Wii.

I'm just not really certain what your overall point is. Nintendo has been very prolific on every console they ever put out (save the Virtual Boy, which was a flop, their only one, compared to Sega, who while I like them as a company, if you're going to be testy about it, they had several in a row). Both were great companies, but Nintendo runs their BUSINESS side of things a hell of a lot better obviously, because Sega is the one that went out of the console business, not them. Part of that might also be the fact that, while Sega did in fact make a lot of GREAT classic games, not a single one of them, to my knowledge, is even in the Top 30 when it comes to highest selling games of all time. Would you like to know how many of the Top 30 are Nintendo games?


Most of them. So what was your point again?
