PS3 + Xbox360 GoTY awards excess Wii+DS by a large amount

Isn't it intellectually bankrupt to pretend that the opinions of video game journalists are credible, especially when it's known that many of them are fanboys and/or paid off by video game companies in one form or another?

Actually, Nintendo is one of the companies that throws the most money in website advertising, and Nintendo games indeed generally get high marks. There are quite some Nintendo fanboys among the press so yes, I think it's pretty safe to assume that HD games were far above Nintendo games during this gen. 

Name them, or name any website where Wii and DS actually got fair treatment and equitable page-space.

Please bear in mind that is not about page space. Indeed, with virtually nothing coming on Wii/DS, there can hardly be page space. And furthermore, 3DS does get page space.

To answer your question, Gamrreview first. I've been looking on the past 7-8 months in reviews and virtually no game on an Nintendo platform gets under 6, and big Nintendo games usually hit 8 or 9, while some HD games like FFXIII-2 get destroyed for no real reason. There are also some French sites I often read, like jeuxvideo.com. Gameblog.fr is also a case in which you see Nintendo ads all the time.

This is not about the present or the future, but about the past. Even when Nintendo still cared about the Wii and DS, even when they, between them, accounted for the large majority of activity in the entire games industry, they barely got any page-space on major websites, aside from bits of hate or promotions of strange games (like IGN's obsession with The Conduit).

Hmm, compared handheld+home-console of nintendo to home-consoles of competition. To be fair, the handheld of the competition should be included:
Wii+DS: 248.78M
XBOX360+PS3+PSP: 208.07M
 (numbers based on http://www.vgchartz.com/analysis/platform_totals/ )
Nintendo-consoles outsell the competition by more than 40M. But XBOX360+PS3+PSP currently sell better than Wii+DS. As the OP states, they could outsell Nintendo with time, but the gap is not that big (20%).

So Nintendo holds the 54.45% of the market, ?

For 7th-generation obviously yes. But keep in mind, that it is not over yet, so expect Nintendo to be at the end below 50%.

Still an impressive achievement, and even more looking at their actual sales...

Try to be original next time Galaki , this thread deserves a 1 / 10 in the fun scale.

True numbers but a shameless ripoff , you should follow Hideki twitter account, you might learn a thing or two.

Hey now. Don't be so hasty in giving PlayStation All  Stars Battle Royal a 1/10. Following Hideki twits aren't going to make it more or less better.

Sure, it may not be original, but it is a new IP.

i was not giving a rating to playstation all stars or that ripoff , when he releases i rate it based on the fun scale .

i was talking THIS ripoff thread, not funny in my book , deserves a 1/10.

So, it's okay when Sony rip-off, you say? That's clearly double standards.


Why is this in the gaming and not sales forum?

someone please close this thread. Its just pathetic.

Whether you like the thread or not, Galaki is posting legitimate numbers.

Can it at least be closed for being in the wrong forum? tehehehe

On Topic:

I don't think PS360 can ever catch up to them, it would require nex-gen to not start at all for at least 4 more years...even then it would be hard as we slowly reach a saturation point, which we're starting to reach now anyway for those two systems.

It could be, but they are gaming sales.  If this thread was about the sales of Nerf footballs and hula hoops vs. Slinkys and frisbees, then I would lock it.  Besides, I have better things to do like permabanning spambots.
