I never said PS4 sold great because of ports.
It's selling so well because of massive hype. Look at IGN's top 25 PS4 games. Nothing to write home about yet.


I did take a look, it included 23 PS3 games and 11 Vita games :p

There's more than hype going on though. If it was hype, there would have been drastic reversals this last holiday. It's because the best versions of multi platform content is clearly the most desirable aspect of a games console. So yeah, you can get the game on your Xbox 360 or PS3, but the PS4 (and XB1) version of your favourite series is better.

This is the huge predicament Nintendo's decision to stick with older technology has left them with. Even before the PS4/X1 launched, Wii U never offered the best versions of the games people care about. Couple that with the fact that most Nintendo fans only play Nintendo games, and you're in the proverbial creek without a paddle.

This is what I mean when I say people can be interested in Nintendo games, but at the same time not care for their consoles.
I don't think Nintendo's first party titles are to blame for lackklustre sales of their consoles. Although new ips wouldn't hurt.
