Because other than a few exclusives, the PS3 still doesn't really have anything that stands out?

The first party support doesn't compare to Nintendo's, the third party support doesn't compare to the 360's, the motion controller will be severely underutilized compared to the Wiimote, and the tech is severely outdated, and increasingly so as the time goes by.

If you are talking about games, then you must be living under the largest rock that has yet to be discovered..

SONY has a 1st party studio that is MUCH LARGER than nintendos, and brings out MUCH MORE QUALITY ip than nintendo.

If you are talking about the motion controller, then I wont argue, since we haven't seen many 1st party or 3rd party titles that utilize the move, and the PS3 has as much 3rd party support as the XBOX 360 has.. give or take an exclusive 3rd party game.

lol

Okay then.

How many quality new IP's have Nintendo released on Wii this generation?

Who cares about new IPs?  Nintendo's two-decade-old IPs are still completely unsurpassed in any regard by anything SCE has ever produced.

That is more like an, opinion :) one that I disagree heavily. I give value to quality over sales. The main goty winners of the past few years only strenghtens my opinion. they have almost all have been, Sony or xbox :)

As is the one that Sony produces more quality games than Nintendo, which I was responding to in the first place. :)

And besides, Sony and Microsoft can get all the GOTYs they want, but the games that people are actually buying and playing have largely been Nintendo-made.  Perhaps the awards are just out-of-touch with how gamers' attitudes actually are, hmm?

That's like comparing wii sports package that comes with the wii to UC2 or ME2 :S If you honestly think sales = quality your sorely mistaken

What?!?! am I living in an alternate reality, Nintendo has the sales, and the quality. I mean nothing sony can produce holds up to Zelda, Mario, or Metroid IMO.

If you're going by quality nothing sony has produced beats Mario Galaxy this generation for me.

The year Mario galaxy came out it was game of the year on alot of websites, the same with Zelda TP.

NSMBWii might not be "goty" worthy, but its a great game, and its selling like crazy.

We will see who is game of the year on the majority of websites when Zelda hits this year...I'm confident. =)

There are many games for ps1, ps2 and ps3 which are better in some regards to the ones nintendo has produced, thats why.



I havent read the whole treat, but i think the mainly diference is the quality of games.

Nintendo knows very well the game they are playing and the market they have in focus.

Microsoft also knows its market, they even have enough money to support genres the competition is strong (JRPG).

SONY started playing the same MS game, it almost failed in it (i would say they are tied now), now they jumped to the Wii wagon and i think Nintendo is going to slap their face as they did with the PSP.

Well I disagree, not because I dislike Sony/PS3, I don't, but to me sony can't compete with Mario. His legacy, and sales are to much for them to overcome IMO.

Metroid is one of the highest reviewed gaming series in history, and so is Zelda.

People seem to forget who Nintendo are.

Reviewers suck.

In order of the most best games people actually want to buy:

1. Nintendo.

2. Microsoft.

3. Sony.


You know quality isnt about sales right? So why refer to them as best games? Best music isnt Miley Cyrus or Taylor Swift, best movie isnt Avatar, they may have more appeal, that doesnt make them better at all.

OT: I dont agree with simulacrum, thats a very naive analisis of how the market works.

I never mentioned anything about quality because quality is some arbitrary metric and it can mean whatever you want it to mean. I was talking about desirability which is another thing entirely. Nintendo has it, which is why their games and their console are top of the charts.
