Sorry, no. Most of these ten-million-sellers came from Wii and DS. And these had big amounts of games. Is it really so hard to admit, that Nintendo does some very popular games? I constantly read from PS- and X-owners, they want Nintendo to go third-party, so they can play their games. Downplaying these numbers is like saying PS4 has no games or Vita is a bad console. That all isn't true.

Wii 10 million sellers: Wii Sports, Mario Kart Wii, Wii Sport Resort, Wii Play, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy, Just Dance 3. I won't even get into DS, as that is not even the topic of this conversation.

Then we go to see what sells on WiiU: New Super Mario Bros. U, Mario Kart 8, Nintendo Land, Super Smash Bros, Super mario World U, New Super Luigi U, Wii Party U..... the same damn games over and over and over and over, just a couple of titles repeated non-stop, and aimed at a very specific target audience (pre-teens). And since those pre-teens have grown up, and new pre-teens now have a different interest, Nintendo is left holding the bag of unmarketable and unwanted consoles (as we can see from the sales in their 30 months on the market).

Nintendo has nothing to offer anymore, and they realize that. That's why they decided to continue chasing the pre-teen market into the mobile territory. I really do hope they succeed, so that they can move out of the home console business once and for all. But they have overstayed their welcome a long time ago. To even think that the company that still thinks it is 1989 can be competitive in 2015 or 2019 is unimaginable, not if they just keep pushing out the same game to the same people that have shown that they are getting really tired of a complete lack of vision and ideas. To think that all of a sudden a person will show up that will have the power and guts to push Nintendo out of that deeply entrenched Groundhog Day...

Which games sell on PS and XBOX?

Halo, COD, Uncharted, FIFA, Battlefield, Assassins Creed, Skyrim, GTA.

Always the same games over and over. Sony and MS has nothing to offer anymore.

Some games are more popular than others, agreed. You make from it, that these are the only games offered, but only in the case of Nintendo. In the case of Playstation/XBox you take less popular games as example for diversity. You have to realize that less popular games also exist for Nintendo. Fire Emblem, Zelda, Bayonetta, Xenoblade, Etrian Odyssey, Bravely Default, Denpa Men ... These all are real games. You only pick games that sell very well and claim no diversity. But you pick a lot less popular games to claim diversity for other platforms. That's unleashed bias.

You forgot Far Cry, and many other great games which do not sell tons of millions, but still are great games, like Dragon Age I, Bloodborne, BatMan, MGS : PP, the New IP for GG, the Witcher3, etc etc etc. If you ask me, is Nintendo which has nothing more to offer other than their usual games recycled over and over again; Nintendo will be in serious trouble if they don't react to all this.
