Except for the fact that Nintendo EPD did not create those IPs and and just made entries in 3 decade long running franchises that get high scores and sell a ton regardless of quality. When Nintendo EPD creates an IP from scratch and gets the same response then you can compare them to ND, as of now comparing them is an insult to Naughty Dog.

Haha.  I ALMOST wrote at the end of my first post that I was sure you would add another criteria to explain why this didn't count, just like you did when someone used Rare as an example. 

However, EPD did create those franchises.  Under their old names, (Nintendo S&P and Nintendo R&D 1 and 2 before that).  These are just all different names Nintendo gave their internal development studio.   I chose to limit it to the games made under EPD because I needed to give them a bit of a handicap to make it a relatively fair fight ;). Of course I'm sure that you'll find a name change as a perfectly valid reason to discount their work.

At this point, I think this is trolling, but feel free to prove me wrong by explaining how making good games in a whopping 2 different genres qualifies you as easily the most diverse developer of all time. Cause honestly, that doesn't seem like much of an achievement.

So basically you're comparing the work of many devs over 3 decades against one developer. And then you also had the audacity to say that Nintendo EPD accomplished that over the course of only 3 years.
