And LMAO at nin best on the planet, do they make the best racer arcade racer fps tps online game rpg music game strategy mmo action ? ohh yahh NO they dont. What i see is they dont even know how to make a legit game in half the generes out there.

 You realise Nintendo chooses not to make things like FPS and TPS all the time.

Racer- Wave Race and F-Zero and damn fine examples of them.
F1WGP2 is by far the best F1 game on a nintendo console, and better than the few I have played on PS machines... however Sony have bought the F1 licence so it is a tad difficult for Nintendo to make another.

Arcade racer - Mario Kart, need I say more. (I suppose you could argue F-zero was arcade too)

online isn't a genre.

RPG - I don't know much about them but I believe Fire Emblem is one right? and is very critically acclaimed... I'm sure other posters could name other RPG (is Animal Crossing one?)

music game - It's not like there are many of these made by other developers. (erm, Guitar Hero, DDR and now RockBand)

strategy- Advance Wars? Pikmin? (and Battalion Wars)

mmo - I don't really know much about these either, but I don't think they are very prolific on consoles.

action - I have always been hazy about what an action game actually is, is Zelda an Action game?

Aha!... why I didn't just use the game database before I don't know.

Action

Adventure

Fighter

Hell you can do the rest yourself however I will fill out a few more lists for you.
For RPG I shall add Pokemon, Paper Mario, Mother and Golden Sun.
For FPS Nintedo did publish some, like Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, but I suppose Rare was second party at the time.
For shooter there are lots of good games, but I suppose very few are specifically 3rd person bar Sin and Punishment, and star fox assault.

I think you will find Nintendo has made a lot of excellent games spanning the vast majority of genres you might want to mention, games that are often considered to be within the best, if not the best of their respective genres.... That is why they are considered the best of the developers.

 

Not to mention NO other developer consistently puts out good titles in such a wide variety of genres. Every single other developer out there either concentrates on far fewer genres, or does a rather poor job, comparably.

It can be stated without any bias whatsoever that Nintendo is most certainly the best developer out there. It's why they're able to support the world's most popular gaming console in history with practically just their own titles, and it's why they survived two full generations of gaming on almost entirely their own titles - with both consoles selling at a rate that would be considered "successful".

One cannot deny Nintendo's extreme talent as a developer. They may not be your favourite, but you've got to at least accept their quality.

 

OT: Guys, this WAS cherrypicking, and it IS a weak statement, but you do have to admit... it's a milestone nonetheless, especially since the statistics show Wii will end up passing the 360 in the end.

 You've got to remember - Nintendo's pack-ins are a large part of why people have purchased the Wii in the first place. If it weren't for their pack-ins, the Wii undoubtedly wouldn't have sold as much as it has. So, each and every one of those pack-ins should count. Same for the mess of pack-ins Microsoft has done; you can't discredit them. No matter how much you dislike them, they're still valid numbers. You can't know how much a motivator they were for people.
