While some of Sony's games are critically praised how many are huge commercial successes? While some sell well most stall around 10 million with a few making it to the low teens. Out of the top 50 best selling games of all times 48 of them are Nintendo or 3rd parties with about half or more being Nintendo games. The last two are kinect adventures Microsoft's game around the middle of the list (yes the own Minecraft but that one is a odd case as it was a 3rd party that then they purchased once it was getting popular.) The other one is the last of us and the main reason why it made it was it was sold on two Sony platforms and it is currently at 49 to probably fall out of the top 50 once Nintendo updates their numbers as Mario odyssey is about to over take it and Pokemon will have once they update the numbers along with animal crossing maybe making a surprise appearance as the minimum to appear on the list now is 16 and a half million to appear on the list so this one will come in after next quarter. So that leaves the games they do make to be more critically praised than commercial successes. Why is that? It makes since that a lot of Nintendo games are there because they are very popular series which is why to this day the Mario franchise is still the best selling franchise with Pokemon and super Mario (which is a part of the mario franchise) being a distant 2nd and 3rd with COD and GTA behind them. So why hasn't Sony generated the same mass appeal for their games as if they did they would sell many more systems?
