Well millions disagree with you.  The Last Of Us, Demon's Souls, Killzone, InFamous, Resistance, MAG, MGS4, LBP,  Heavy Rain, and Uncharted are games I could not imagine going through last gen not playing.  Guess what?  8 of those were 100% new IP's.  There isn't Uncharted Party 3 or Killzone racing.  Nintendo isn't unchallenged in the games department...


Guess what, apart of heavy rain and TLOU, I couldn't imagine myself playing those fucking generic and boring games you mentioned. It would give me aids. You like them ? Ok, cool story bro. 

Now the top 15 of most sold games of all time:

ALLLLL NINTENDO

Now the top 30:

All nintendo, minus 3 games from take two, 1 form microsoft and 1 by Sony and 1 by activision.

 

No one can match Nintendo son.

It's easy to have the highest selling games when there are so few.  Order of total software sold by Platform:

PS2

PS1

Wii

360

DS

PS3

 

Notice how even the juggernaught of the DS has had less software sold than the 360?   Also the 360 is close to overtaking the Wii, and the PS3 is on track to overtake both.  The PS3 just had too many exclusives release close to each other.  I didn't mind because I loved them all.  Oh and LOL at LBP and MAG being generic! I laughed pretty hard at that one...

 

So you like Nintendo.  Great!  But do you honestly think the Gamecube had better and fresher games than the N64, or the Wii the gamecube, etc...?


Bolded is one of the worst arguments I have ever read. It couldn't have to do with the quality of the games at all. Nope. The PS2 had a ton of games and two seperate GTA games managed to make it onto the top sellers list, how did that happen?

The PS3 released too many exclusives for them to sell greatly? So you're saying if TLOU, Demon's Souls and Killzone hadn't been released, the others would have skyrocketed up the all-time top-seller's list?

I don't know how you can say that the Wii didn't have a lot of fresh ideas for games, they were going crazy with motion controls, and hinged the success of the whole console on the premise. A few more games to add to the list:

N64:
Pokemon Snap

Gamecube:
Luigi's Mansion
Wind Waker
Metroid Prime
Super Mario Strikers
Donkey Konga
Battallion Wars
Eternal Dakness

Wii:
Wario Ware: Smooth Moves
Red Steel
Super Paper Mario (3D shift mechanic)
Xenoblade Chronicles(?)
Zack and Wiki
Trauma Centre
Rhythm Heaven Fever

Wii U:
Nintendoland
Game+Wario
Wonderful 101
New Super Luigi U (focus on speedrunning mixes up the game)
Zombi U (great immersion with the gamepad)

There's planty of innovaative software on each system, and the Wii U is too early in it's life to judge yet, but as long as we get more asymmetric gameplay a la Nintendoland, it'll be fine.
