Good to see Ninty having many games that score so high, but terrible to see the word "fact" getting butchered mercilessly as usual.

Facts:
WiiU has sold less than 10m units/Wii has sold more than 100m units
Zelda games have sold over x million units.
Bayonetta 2 and Mario Kart 8 have received x number of GOTY awards so far
Mario Kart 8 has x metacritic score.

Opinions:
Ninty has the best exclusives
Smash is the best fighter of the year (highest rated yes, best? debatable)

What Ninty stated was facts. What some users are stating as facts, are opinions. A high score is not absolute evidence that x game is better than x game. Quality is debatable. A score is a number and thus a fact. Whether a game deserves that score is up to the individual to decide. Conversely, he can't decide that x game didn't get over 85 meta.

Critics globally have scored Nintendo games as the best exclusives games of the generation by far, and that my friend, that is a FACT.


Sorry to disappoint you, but you are incorrect. That is still an opinion. Your sentence would have been a fact without the bolded, which is vague and thus debatable. For someone "by far" may mean better scores by five 5 points. For someone else 10 or event 20. Remove the bolded and you have a factual statement which is simply an unnecessary repetition of the point I was making.

Also, keep in mind that typing the word "fact" in capital letters at the end of a sentence does not automatically make that sentence a fact.
