If everything is so blatantly subjective then why'd you even call out the guy who said no one could compete with Sony? that's also his opinion, no?

We need to have some data to have an argument buddy. And I'm sorry but One console having a more highly reviewed games across the industry than 4 nintedno systems combined is a pretty clear sign that Nintendo can't compete. You can claim subjectivity if it was a small difference, but this thing is pretty clear cut, there's no room for your terribly biased opinion here.

First of all, you failed at analyzing your own comparison.

Wii (199) + 3DS (137) + Wii U (101) + Switch (27) = 464 games above 75

PS4 = 393 games above 75

The PS4 does not have more highly rated games than those four systems. And even if it did, it wouldn't matter. A console library doesn't linearly increase in appeal with each additional game above some metascore threshold. No one is going to buy and play 400 games for a single console. Most console owners don't even pass 10 games. Even though Nintendo consoles have fewer games overall because of limited third party support, each individual first party game that they publish has more appeal to the general public.

Take, for example, the 3DS and PS4. Nintendo has published six 3DS games that have sold more than 10 million. Sony has published zero PS4 games that have sold above 10 million, and only five games above 5 million.

This hold true no matter how far down the list you go. Nintendo software on the 3DS stands at 189 million, while Sony software on the PS4 is just 61 million, despite the PS4 having a higher attach rate and higher total software sales.

People agree that Nintendo has the best first party support out of all console manufacturers because their first party games simply appeal to many more people than either Sony's or Microsoft's.

 

yeah. I mean, put ANY other console maker over the years and put them through what ninty's been through in the 95~05 era. no one else could have survived that situation. hell sega couldn't, and they had the best first party after ninty.

the wii U sold enough to recoperate something cause of ninty first party. nintendo handhelds always prevail cause of ninty first party. 

what would be sony wihout third party? hell even losing all of squarexix's mainline FF, DQ, and KH would severely cut down sony's shares. and thats just one company.

no one can create a diverse, yet high quality (well 90% of the time... but at least you don't see glitchfests like sonic 06!) first party lineup like ninty can.
