Great chance that the mass market hasn't tried Nintendo games because of lacklustre marketing on Nintendo's part or because of bias on their part (or both).

Nintendo has quite a few big franchises that are about 30 years old and still very popular today. Do you think they would still exist today if their quality was substandard?

There's a little blue hedgehog that struggles to sell 500k copies of his games for a new entry in his franchise.


So a franchise with over 30 years lack sales because marketing? Have it sold health numbers for all this time while being unknow?? Your answer defeats itself.

 

And I didn't say it lacks quality. I Said public could disagree with you, critics and other Nintendo fans and you can't prove they wrong or with ill intents. Just different tastes.

 

I have all Nintendo consoles from nes to Wii, Plus DS and 3DS. Have played most of their flagship games and know when the next games will release. Even so I won't bother buying WiiU for quite some time. A lot of Nintendo games bore me while I deeply appreciate a lot of games available on PS. If I were to choose between gran turismo or the whole Nintendo catalogue I would pick gt.

 

Why do you think that besides Wii Nintendo consoles have been in constant decline? Because the whole world hates Nintendo are wrong or maybe they value different things than you and Nintendo? Maybe for them quality isn't being bug free (which ninty isn't 100%) or fun isn't jumping on enemies heads or good artistic Vision/direction isn't cartooney graphics. None of those can be proved right or wrong, what we know is that in home consoles Nintendo pleases the market the littlest of the 3 besides the Wii that got a different Market that don't seem to be coming for a second round.

Nintendo's franchises sell well with Nintendo fans, outside of that a lot of people haven't tried them. Plenty of gamers out there who don't want to give Nintendo a fair chance because they think it's for kiddies.

N64 used cartridges instead of cd and they treated third parties like shit: decline

GC used mini-cd instead of dvd: decline

It has nothing to do with the quality of their first party games.

You conveniently ignore Nintendo's handhelds: GBA > GB, DS > GBA

The rest of your post isn't worth responding to, so I'll leave it at that.
