It's no contest.


I'm not even going to get into why that list is full of hot air.

Kind of like your arguments I guess?

No, Nintendo software has sold much better than Sony software since the beginning of time. Your suggestions lack basis.

@Soundwave. Games like Mario Kart have always sold well, regardless of that bubble bursting. Nintendo sold games during the time of the Game boy, it's been almost 20 years since the first pokemon game.

Here are the 15 top-selling games of all time:

Thank you boys, but your Kratos is in another Castle.


Those numbers mean absolutely nothing to the Wii U's current situation. How much have the Wii U successors to any of those games sold by comparison. Nothing. They've sold like shit by comparison, especially in the west, because those games were inflated by hardware far more desirable than software. That's not the case with Nintendo anymore and the Wii U's sales prove it while Killzone and InFAmous, two of Sony's notably weaker franchises, are outselling literally every big Nintendo game that isn't Mario, especially in the West. Titanfall, a new IP, is curbstomping Zelda. Forza sold better than Pikmin 3 and DKCTF combined. The only reason Wii Party U is relevant right now is because 2/3 of it's sales came from bundle... In Japan.

Your denial pains me.
