| Alkibiádēs said: Compare the communities yourself: it's pretty obvious which one is actively playing games together and which one isn't. Where's the LBP3 thread to share levels between members for example? I constantly see people here asking to play Splatoon, Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart together online. I see none of that in the PS community here. |
Its hard to see things you are aren't looking for...
However, I realize that alone isn't strong enough to counter your suggestion.
What you are describing is nothing but a difference in culture. Just because the Nintendo Community does it, doesn't mean all communities would do it if they had the same engagement. You don't see the same for PC and Xbox either.
Unlike the PS, Xbox, or PC gaming communities, the Nintendo community didn't get a real online network till the start of this generation with miiverse. Given the fact that this forum and its community has persisted long before then, means that organizing games online was necessary for online gaming with Nintendo, the Wii specificially, and what you see now is merely a continuation of it. It's useless to compare different cultures of two platforms that are so dfferent and expect a meaningly conclusion from it.
Finally, you can't use this forum alone as sufficient evidence of the lack of enganged communities. As I've shown above, history has a significant effect, so the character of this forum is different from other ones that are actually dedicated to certain games or platforms.
