You quoted me, and I said none of these things. I actually said some indies, and I'm fully aware that others are not. But you also fail to notice the significance. It is an actual saying, that only Nintendo games sell on Nintendo consoles. Or differently turned: Nintendo users don't buy games. I pointed towards that by turning it into a joke with PS4 replacing NIntendo. You seemingly didn't got it. Indies are games practically no one buys a console for. So indies usually (and I emphasize usually) do best on platforms with better userbase, as more people are exposed to it. If a user owns multiple platforms, he often choose the platform with the best version of the game or the most convenient one. But now not one, but multiple indie games, sell best on a platform with userbase still small. Sure, that still means most games sell best on PC. But the base is still growing, and it is Nintendo which usually is bad news for sales of third-parties. Obviously something changed, You fail to notice that and instead hallucinate something into my post that never were in it. Do you really feel entitled accusing others to spew nonsense? You might want to tread more carefully if you wanna avoid looking like a fool. |
The former is at least partly grounded in truth (even on the Switch 72% of all game sales are from just 4 Nintendo titles), when it's not being exaggerated it can be a source of interesting discussion. The latter is just silly though, and I've never worked out where it stems from. We even have a tie ratio page on VGC that shows its flatly false.
