Despite your condesending attitude and dismisive language; I was not stating an opinion I was stating a fact. The fact(he, he) that you can't see it is an excellent example of what I am referring to when I say we go very far to hide unplesant truth from ourselves. To make the argument simpler to understand for foreign readers: To use the word "best" with any kind of meaning (when not relating to personal taste) you have to look at objective measurable data. If people are willing to do that they will see that there is no way of looking at the numbers in the videogame world and come to any ther conclusion than this: Nintendo is the best video game developer in the world. Any other interpretation is subjective and a reflection of whomevers personal taste. In this day and age many people live under the false conviction that their personal opinion is somehow relevant and interesting to other people and such warrents whole threads on discussuion boards dedicated to them stating their opinions about all manner of things. All of this is just noise however, the facts and numbers are the same no matter how much you and others plug your ears and make up criteria to fit what you want to see. For example, in my personal opinion Sid Meier is the best video game designer ever. This is a statement of my opinion, but it is not a fact. A factual analysis would require looking into number of games designed, their impact, their reception etc and the result would probably be that Shigeru Miyamoto is the best video game designer ever (I don't know that this is true, but I suspect it might be). The difference is that finding out who is the best video game designer is a topic of general interest, finding out who my favorite game designer is is useless and interesting only to myself and no one else in the entire world. |
Yeah...again, you can continue pulling that bullshit out of your ass for as long as you like, but it's still an opinion and is forever going to be an opinion. There is no "objective measurable data" that shows that Nintendo are the best game developers.
