Ok. Thats not fair at all. All the games i listed are big. You guys are just picking the biggest ones. Thats like saying if a game doesn't sell 5mil+ WW it isnt big! :-/ Vita has big games even if most of them dont sell past 200k lifetime. I put games that are going to sell 100k-500k which are big. I dont see why nintendo big is necessarily 1mil+. Than that means 3DS has no big games aside from 6-7 in japan |
Okay. Let's go back to the beginning then Tbone. Ryuzaki said:

You then assaulted him with a list of "big" games.
The point, to me, has been that 3DS has been selling extremely well for the past 3 years thanks to actually big games (Mario Kart/3D World; Animal Crossing/NSMB; Pokemon/Monster Hunter) and there's nothing on the horizon for 2014 to match that. Yes, "maybe" Pokemon Z and "possibly" Monster Hunter 4G, but nothing confirmed so far other than Smash which is a wild card. Dragon Quest XI would be a good companion for it, but we don't know squat about that game so far.
The point has always been about maintaining hardware sales for a 4th year. I know you don't see it as that, but that's what Ryuzaki was getting at and that's what I've been continuing with.
And I guess we just have different definitions of "big". Look at PSP software sales. Monster Hunter is in a league of its own. Then there's a cluster of "big" stuff (i.e. Dissidia; Metal Gear Solid; God Eater; Phantasy Star) before we move down to the mid-level stuff. That's how I base my metrics. I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree on that last point.
