| Sephiran said: Looking at the game awards its interesting to see how Nintendo is not relevant at all for game of the year except the year Breath of the wild won, they don't make the kind of games that are relevant at such awards. Back in 2020 for example Animal Crossing got 10 % of the votes at the game awards compared to last of us part 2, since then Animal Crossing sold 50 million copies. |
Since Switch launch Nintendo was nominated every year except 2018 and 2024, and honestly I can't say it's surprising both were pretty lukewarm years. The best thing Nintendo produced this year was Echoes of Wisdom which imo screams "average" all around
From 2017 to 2023 Nintendo got 8 nominees. Sony got 10. So while Sony has the uperhand, Nintendo still the second biggest publisher
