That's why Nintendo sells better on Nintendo systems. On other systems gamer have no choice than to play the subpar games and are probably used to it. And notice how much praise the exceptions get, the Atlus games, the Rockstar games. People who are used to a lack of polish still notice if the polish is there.

Get out of here with this nonsense. That is complete and utter crap and does nothing but tarnish your credibility. You contradict yourself by mentioning publishers in this very post that in your opinion reach a level of "polish" that rivals Nintendo who are far more popular on non-Nintendo platforms. Smarten up.

For Ubisoft games I by now expect a fun game riddled with glitches. ZombiU had a game breaking bug on release. On Miiverse I showed funny pictures of glitches in Assassins Creed III, a game I bought years late and had at first a bunch of patches to install. In Skyrim I met the floating tree, the Mammoth falling from the sky, the hollow rock (only textures on one side), also years after initial release. The games are still fun, but the lack of polish impacts the experience.

Whoah, I saw all of that, too! I didn't even know these had names, actually. All of those left an ugly stain in my experience, sadly. Therefore,  can understand where you come from and I share your opinion.

You probably could have worded that second bolded one better but I get what you mean.

Yeah, I could've worded it better. It was at the end of a long post. What I mean is, that many big games have the missing polish. And don't get me wrong, the games are still fun, I enjoyed Skyrim very much, but still I would've wished such glitches would've been fixed. On Nintendo systems gamers experience this high level of polish with first party products. Not that Nintendo fucks up here and there, for instance Luigis Mansion 2 on the 3DS was riddled with glitches. But for the most part they set a standard. This standard isn't there on other consoles. Gamers are used to the glitches and shrug them off. The games that have that polish (as I mentioned, Atlus, Rockstar, CD Project Red) are usually met with praise and I expect some of it stems from the fact that the games held a higher standard than what the gamers on this console are used to. That is what I meant.

And the names for the glitches were my words. I think everyone understands what I talk about if I say floating tree, especially if they noticed it too.
