I just don't see any Halo game or Uncharted game, or any other game by MS or Sony, being remembered the same way as Skyward Sword or Galaxy will be.


Perhaps it won't be remembered by you, but I will certainly remember Valkyria CHronicles, LBP, and even Killzone 2 longer than I will either of those.  Always see this fallacious assumption based argument by Nintendo fans that Nintendo are the only ones that makes games that people will remember for decades, but the only reason you think that is they're the only gaming company that's been around that long..  Trust me I will remember SotC for the rest of my life and I'm sure others will remember the first halo forever.  Nintendo doesn't have the market cornered when it comes to future classics, they just have the market for current classics because they've been around that long.  

talk about yourself

we've seen how Halo Anniversary sold compared to the original, and compare that to how Ocarina is selling, not 10 years later but 14

Conegamer is right



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

The Wii, of course. Consumers vote with their wallets and on the Xbox 360 and PS3 they routinely choose third party multiplatform games over exclusives.


I totally agree. I mean we all know Zumba fitness is miles better than Mass effect.

Wii

the answer is so obvious that it does not even deserve a thread and a poll, whatever the result will be

edit : after watching the result i can see it's actually a voting about which company has the most fans on this site, and is Sony as it seems, nothing wrong with that, but so people can finally stop blaming poor Nintendo fans for supporting what they like

No, PS3 is ahead because it deserves it. Stop trying to say "Oh but Nintendo this and Nintendo that". They haven't done jack shit for the Wii except Zelda in more than a year. I remember more years where there were only 1-2 memorable exclusives. I remember the year that Animal Crossing came out as another example (2008).

It annoys me greatly that you can never recognize the PS3 for its exclusives and always insist it's ONLY because Sony fans outnumber the other ones. Nintendo won the poll in the other exclusives thread. Why is that?

Wii is where it is (30m above the Ps3) only and only because of its exclusive titles, it's a fact, not an opinion

1. No, never said that.

2. A big proportion of the Wii userbase is casual yes. Doesn't matter though because he mentioned SS and Galaxy, which don't sell huge numbers.

3. Many movies are too forgotten. No, if you're a true gamer you'll recognize the greats of the old times even though they didn't sell much or you didn't even buy it.

4. All Final Fantasy games are remembered because they belong to the same franchise, yes. Why did he disregard Halo and Uncharted then? Two big franchises with many iterations.

1. Okay.

2. The original Mario galaxy sold 10 milllion, the second is close to 7 million, Skyward Sword could have done better, but it's because of M+ adoption, and the game isn't as good as many hoped. Still, the core userbase is there, the casual userbase hardly cares about Zelda or 3D Mario, and they will be the ones that remember those games. If they don't remember the original Galaxy, it's sure LBP or any of the Ratchet games won't be remembered.

3. Bleh.

4. Saying Halo and Uncharted won't be remembered was stupid. Just an example:

What if Uncharted 2 wasn't created? Do you think Uncharted 1 will be remembered as much? I doubt it.

EDIT: Also, Halo is as much of a casual game as Mario.

It's not like multiplatform games would be at the top of the Wii bestsellers list if they sold just as many units as on the 360 and PS3, so your counter is weak.

That was more of a troll response if anything, a taste of your own medicine.

But I'll argue fo realz:

The lack of competition from multiplats leads to consumers having less options (games) to spend their money on. E.g. As a PS3 owner who could only afford 1 or 2 games last winter, I had to pick from Batman, Skyrim, Uncharted, COD, Battlefield, FIFA 12, AC: Revelations (The list goes on), I chose Uncharted, and although Uncharted is still getting great sales, imagine how much better it's sales would be without the competition, what if it was the only or one of the only major game(s) in an established franchise releasing, and what if PS3 had an install base of 90 million intead of 60 million? 

What if Wii had as many quality 3rd party games that were marketed as much or more than it's exclusives? 

Consumers who have limited money will choose the games they think they'll enjoy the most. Given Nintendo's track record throughout their entire video game history, their games have always been the topsellers, including their systems that had major third party presence. This makes it implausible that Nintendo would have suffered notably from higher quality third party games on the Wii. Nintendo isn't just the most successful software publisher in video games history, they are by far the most successful one. They are in this position for a good reason and that is they make the best games. It's impossible to cover up a lack of quality over a timeframe of 30 years.

If the PS3 didn't have major third party multiplatform games, then it wouldn't even have sold 60 million units. So Uncharted would have not sold notably better without all the competition it had, because you would be looking at a significantly lower installed base for the PS3.

If the Wii had as many quality third party games that were marketed as much or more than its exclusives, then the Wii would have sold more than 120 million units by now with total software being sold breaking the 1 billion barrier. So in the end, Nintendo's games would have probably sold even more than they did, because people who bought a Wii for third party games would also give some Nintendo games consideration. Something they wouldn't have done otherwise, because they had no intention to ever own the system in the first place.

I have a reply to this, but this debate is boring as shit and we are probably not going to change eachothers minds. But you did write a fair amount so I will reply to it if you really want me to. Do you want me to?

As much? No. Remembered? Yes...Seriously, you must have amnesia if you don't expect to remember some of the best exclusives on PS3 and 360 in a few years.

I never said those games won't be remembered, but it's a franchise that's stronger.

I did an interesting chart about a year back, and PS3 was tied with Wii for 'great' exclusives, with 360 trailing behind by a wide margin.



My Console Library:

PS5, Switch, XSX

PS4, PS3, PS2, PS1, WiiU, Wii, GCN, N64 SNES, XBO, 360

3DS, DS, GBA, Vita, PSP, Android

Ermmm, who decided whether the exclusives were great? You? Bah!



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

Yeah, because of Wii Fit, Wii Sports and NSMBWii...I'm sure you'll reflect back in a few years on how Wii Fit and Wii Sports were such great games because they sold in the tens of millions. 

Edit: And you're living in the past. Nintendo hasn't made a system seller for Wii in years. Oh and if those few Wii exclusives have such staying power, why is PS3 selling considerably more currently and in 2011?

because Nintendo choose, instead of releasing Wii Sports 3, Wii Fit 3, NSMBW2, Mario Kart Wii 2, Galaxy 3, Kinect Wii, Vitality sensor, Super Smash 4, nunckuck plus and so on so forth, decided to focus on 3DS and WiiU, it's common sense

HD fans just got the chance to revive the ''Wii is shit'' thing because it's not selling that good in 2011/2012

Wii sold because of it's exclusives, the Nintendo ones

there is no reason to count million sellers since we already know that Wii exclusives gave it the 1st place this gen, it has the most software sales by far, whether you like the games or not, and it won't change



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^
