Nintendo needs more western studios and more original western IPs to appeal to the west.

I agree with Vinnie. You seem convinced, what numbers do you have to show that Sony's offerings are the type of games Nintendo needs to succeed?

...Is that a joke?

No, it's not. But this is:

The best of the category you suggest:

Pos	Game	Platform	Year	Genre	Publisher	North America	Europe	Japan	Rest of World	Global
1	Uncharted 2: Among Thieves	PS3	2009	Action	Sony Computer Entertainment	3.16	2.08	0.21	0.92	6.38

 

Versus the best of Nintendo:

Pos	Game	Platform	Year	Genre	Publisher	North America	Europe	Japan	Rest of World	Global
1	Wii Sports	Wii	2006	Sports	Nintendo	41.09	28.72	3.77	8.40	81.97
2	Mario Kart Wii	Wii	2008	Racing	Nintendo	15.13	12.41	3.73	3.20	34.48
3	Wii Sports Resort	Wii	2009	Sports	Nintendo	15.43	10.75	3.26	2.90	32.34
4	Wii Play	Wii	2006	Misc	Nintendo	13.90	9.14	2.93	2.84	28.80
5	New Super Mario Bros. Wii	Wii	2009	Platform	Nintendo	13.92	6.62	4.69	2.16	27.39
6	Wii Fit	Wii	2007	Sports	Nintendo	8.92	8.03	3.60	2.14	22.69
7	Wii Fit Plus	Wii	2009	Sports	Nintendo	8.92	8.27	2.53	1.75	21.48
8	Super Smash Bros. Brawl	Wii	2008	Fighting	Nintendo	6.24	2.37	2.58	0.95	12.14
9	Super Mario Galaxy	Wii	2007	Platform	Nintendo	5.92	3.23	1.20	0.72	11.07

 

It's no contest.

It's too bad for Nintendo the Wii Sports/Fit bubble burst. Uncharted 4 will sell 6-10 million on the PS4, Wii Sports/Fit/Party have done nothing for the Wii U. That audience is happier playing Candy Crush and Angry Birds for 99 cents or free, which is about all the daily/weekly gaming fix they need.
