| ICStats said: You would make it sound like Sony never had a chance against Nintendo's franchises, but PS1 & PS2 sure did by a 4 or 5 to 1 margin in Japan. Half of those top games are from the 90's. Those numbers from the 90's don't matter, and neither do the DS and Wii numbers port freely to the Wii U. |
OK, I guess I'm going to have to say this yet again.
I wasn't arguing for the Wii U dominating because of the franchises I listed. I was providing a counterargument to the argument put forward by Rafux, by demonstrating that the franchises that he listed did not decide the 7th generation's lineup, and that most of the franchises he listed aren't actually all that dominant in Japan in the first place.
The key here was that Wii U has strong franchises to counter the Sony franchises listed. Neither one has some sort of natural advantage based on the franchises set for release, and a much more nuanced analysis would be necessary to make a serious prediction of how Wii U and PS4 will perform compared to each other.
Context matters.
