Sony announces their arguably biggest IP at the moment during this event, "meh event", "so dissapointing", "more crap announced".

Microsoft announces 7th Halo game since 2001 or something, MS fans are all in heaven, pumped, etc.

Nintendo announces the same games for 30 years now, Nintendo fans can't wait for every single new iteration.


Maybe that's because NIntendo doesn't milk their franchises (Franchises, not characters) to the extreme like CoD and Assassins Creed, were it reaches a staleness point and becomes boring,

That's why most of the Nintendo games feel like magic all over again. I'd say the most stale franchises from Nintendo are Mario Kart and Smash Bros, but those come out once in a generation and are always smash hits. If Sony or Microsoft could have a multi generation long lasting IP like that, believe me, they wouldn't drop it. But instead they have to come up with different worlds and franchises so everything feels new.

As for the second paragraph I can't say much, since I'm not interested in any Nintendo franchise, so they have no magic for me. All I see is, another 3D Mario, 2D Mario, Mario Party, Mario Kart, Smash Bros. Zelda differs from iteration to iteration significantly I guess. 


Yeah well, call me when Sony of MS have yearly franchises like those other than sport in form of MLB The Show but that's natural, the closest are Ratchet and Clank which was milked and experimented on by Insomniac, to death. And Halo which even though had 7 iterations plus Wars is still quite exciting for the fans.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!
