So only AAA titles count as games? I'm sorry to break it to u but Nintendo has never, ever been a company about spending copious amounts of money on a single games budget.

yeah only them count. Otherwhise ps4/xbox one and wii u are all crap and android and ios are the big gaming machines. They get alot more games as all 3 systems combined.

Well, that is unfair. If only AAA mattered on any console, handhelds would have crashed and burned decades ago, because their budgets aren't comparable to the AAA powerhouses on consoles. I think only the Vita tried something close to the AAA on handhelds, and sadly we all know the state the Vita is in (did some PSP title have a AAA budget?). If AAA mattered so much, the Wii would have lagged a lot behind the HD twins, and that wasn't the case. If AAA mattered so much, indies wouldn't have risen in popularity as much, and the mobile market wouldn't have appeared at all.

And if they didn't matter they wouldn't sell gangbusters. Any platform needs balance between all tiers of games and someday prices of them.
