I wonder how long before Intrinsic decides to call you out for not understanding what an opinion is? My guess is never since you guys seem to be in agreement that it is somehow detrimental to your world view to aknowledge the fact that Nintendo is the best videogame developer in the world. Contrary to your unsubstantiated claim there are a number of reliable sources for measurable data about the videogame industry. Pick anyone you'd like: total sales, profits, number of titles, critical reception. If you had any interest in actually challenging your own narrow view of how the world must be, you'd already know by now that regardless of metric there is no (meaningful) way to claim that someone other than Nintendo is the best videogame developer in the world. This isn't even touching on the (harder to quantify) metrics of cultural impact and influence. |
Your objective data is completely arbitrary to the question who is the best game developer
Sales and profit: Well I guess Angry Birds, Candy Crush and Wii Sports are the best games in existence. Also to get away from the games industry for a second, I guess Tyler Perry is on of the best directors out there, cause he makes some most money with his films.
Number of titles: Whoop-de-do they've made a lot of games, that naturally means that they must be the best.
Critical Reception: The developer with the highest average on Metacritic I believe is ND and even if it's someone else (it's certainly not Nintendo) then that still would be nothing but aggregated opinions of people.
Also it's hilarious how you try to color my world view as the narrow one here, while you, as is typical for a teenager of your age, are dead set on your point being the right one. Face it, your statement is wrong and will always be wrong, there is no scientifically right way to quantify something like "best developer", cause that is always a matter of opinion.
