New console facts and myths.

[Pyro as Bill]

Myth:Launch games are crap........except when Nintendo makes them.

SNES:SM World + Pilotwings.

Pilotwings, unlinke SMW, was not a AAA game. Solid B nonetheless.

N64: SM64, MK64

Hmmm

Wii:Wii Sports, LoZ Twilight Princess.

Yep definitely a myth.

 

Fact: It took the 360 2 years to have a 10M seller and 1 year to have a 5M seller.

Fact: It took the PS3 3 years to have a 10M seller and 2 years to have a 5M seller.

Fact: It took the Wii much less than this.

 

Fact: Sony and MS (without Kinect) can't make 10M+ sellers (Edit: PER CONSOLE not per IP, happy?). Plural.

Fact: Sony's 2006 gems are Sonic, NfSpeed, Riiiiiiddddgeee Raaaaccceeeerrr (remember that game), CoD 3(lol), Fight Night (remember me), Resistance Motorstorm. 

Fact: 360s 2005 gems are: CoD 2 (llol) and you guessed it, NfSpeed.

Fact: Wii's 2006 gems are Wii Sports, Play (still better than any $10 XBL crap), Twilight Princess, Warioware, Monkey bollox, Pokemon, Rayman, NfSpeed(obvs), Pixar's Cars.

Edit: Notch can singlehandedly beat Microsoft and Sony combined but not.............who?

If software really does sell hardware (old Nintendo philosophy) then PS4 and X1 are fucked, for the next 2 years anyway, until the 'new CoD' comes along.

Problem is, Nintendo has as much chance of making the 'next CoD' as the rest of the gaming industry combined (inc Notch).

 

Discuss.
