Review scores for Nintendo games only tell us that Nintendo fans like Nintendo games, duh. The point is that the majority of gamers won't buy the Nintendo system to rate those games in the first place, because the games are not appealing enough to justify buying the system. Most gamers tend to gravitate towards Playstation more or less every generation, one of the reasons being that they know they will get the most extensive library of games, both first and third party. Sure, the Wii was an exception but it was a mostly a gimmick based fad. Had it been up to the Nintendo faithfuls only, we would have seen something closer to the Wii U numbers. |
What are you talking about, review scores are based on gaming media critics not based on scores of Nintendo users. Take metacritic where gaming media gives scores, and you will see that list is almost totally same like this above, only difference is Smash Bros. 4. For instance Zelda BotW score is based on 107 critics. Nintendo games have great review scores because they are great games not because Nintendo fans.
