| veritaz said: You are comparing the top selling games on Nintendo consoles that are very old ips to new ones from Sony. Gran Turismo, Uncharted, main god of war games all sell very well and Uncharted was an ip from this gen. Sony makes a ton of new ips and keeps the old ones that are influential and sell really well like Gran Turismo and god of war. Sony has the legacy with it's games and outsells a ton of Nintendo ips with critical aclaim as well. It's just that Sony can not match the Mario IP in legacy and sales while it can match and pass everything else except for Smash. Mario is just way to much of a cultural icon. |
Not really, even if you took out Mario and Smash you have games like Zelda which average 5m, Donkey Kong sold about 6m, Animal Crossing which isn't even an old IP sold 11m, Pokemon was created in 96 about a year before Gran Turismo and it shifts 15-20m on average. In Sales power Nintendo's first party are just a force.
