Nintendo could never beat Apple. Apple have better marketing and essentially better products. They may not be the best in the market e.g. their pad over others, but the build quality and accessibility are second to none. Plus they don't have any geeky stigma, especially with the iphone. |
Nintendo makes better games though. That's why they destroyed PlayStation this generation.
|
Nintendo did not make better games last Gen and the Gen before that, it's only this Gen they are starting to make better games, right ?
|
According to the market, yes. The games on PlayStation and PlayStation 2 were preferable. Now the games on Nintendo DS and Wii are preferable.
|
Sony made better games in PS1 and PS2 era than Nintendo but this Generation Nintendo is making better games thus the reason they are winning this Generation, right?
|
Who said anything about Sony? I'm saying (in terms of the market) there were better games on PS1 than N64, and PS2 than GC. Now there are better games on DS than PSP, and Wii than PS3.
If you wanted to delve deeper, I'd also put forward that the best DS/Wii games, and the ones that have really driven the market, were almost all from Nintendo. And the the best games on PS1/PS2, the ones that also really drove those markets, were mostly not from Sony.
|
Let me repeat what you said earlier " Nintendo makes better games though, that's why they destroyed the playstation this Gen" your words. Then you said the PS1/PS2 era the best games were not from Sony, right? You are confusing me there. Sony still won two Gen without making better games than NINTENDO. In fact, they are losing badly the first time they realy competing with Nintendo when it comes to great games.
|
There's no confusion on my end, only misinterpretation on yours. I'm saying Nintendo now, makes better games than everyone on PSP/PS3. Everyone the previous two gens made better games than what Nintendo did on N64/GC.
You're wrongly equating Sony = PlayStation. That's rather obviously not my stance, and there's no inconsistency with what I've said.
|
Shouldn´t you replace `better´ with `appealing´?
|
In terms of the massmarket, I don't feel there's any real distinction there. More 'appealing' is 'better'.
|
I think it's obvious why you're meeting resistance here. For people who understand video game history and have great knowledge of software, appealing and better are quite different. You are stating your interpretation while they have another one. I think both are right. The market finds the Wii and some of its games more appealing, but to "informed" people who comprehend the gamut of video game software, Wii games are not better. At least not the total domination you speak of. For instance, there may be better portable music players, but the chance of them beating the ipod is minimal without incredible marketing. Quality isn't always the deciding factor, and too suggest otherwise is a bit irresponsible, I think.
