Vgchartz and NPD data from around 2008. I said it from memory because I thought it was common knowledge around here. I'm sure people here who remember that time can verify it.

EDIT, no wait, I might have thought of 52 percent because 52 percent was the peak of the Sega Megadrive marketshare vs the SNES in 1993. Kitler might be right on that one.

didn't copy it all cause you are lazy lol. i always copy all of an article. just aswell, cause i don't read long articles anyway lol.

this info is wrather interesting though.

Nintendo only has themselves to blame. Tech is the very reason why third parties left them for Sony nearly twenty years ago.

UE4 can be downscaled to phones, so the Wii U can run the engine because of similar architecture between the consoles. Will it look as good as the PS4 and 720? Of course not, but the job will be easier than the original Wii since with the Wii, 3rd parties had to make a game from the ground up. There's a rumor that Epic is making a game with the UE4 for the Wii U and the other next-gen consoles. This obviously remains to be seen.

Either way, I'm pretty sure Nintendo is giving up on multiplats at this point. Considering Bayonetta2, Wonderful 101, Lego City Undercover, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Fire Emblem x Shin Megami Tensei, Rayman Legends (this will probably become a multiplat in the future), I'm almost certain that Nintendo strategy this gen is to get 3rd party exclusives "at all cost" (or at least time exclusivity like Ninja Gaiden 3). Imo this is a great idea since I buy consoles because of exclusive games, but that depends on the gamers opinion.

The 16-bit era was before Sony came in and changed the structure of the industry........ for the worse.

Today that is still an arm and a leg for a controller. This means Nintendo owners must treat their controllers like their baby.

I stopped listening to EuroGamer when they said they could not accurately judge the resolution of MW3 from GTTV coverage due to the low resolution of the stream, then they went ahead and declared every Wii U game 720p or lower by doing that very thing.

They are inconsistent and have a clear-as-day bias in everything they write.

Sonys tech was Nintendos vision for the industry, Sony just pushed the tech further and it caught the attention of the third parties.

Because Nintendo was the only game in town in the NES era, and Sega was shit in Japan for the SNES era (the good Western 3rd party support all leaned in Genesis' favor).

There is no conspiracy. There's a bunch of individual haters, mostly localized in EA and their crony-studios, Zenimax and their subsidiaries, and Take Two and Rockstar. People who snub Nintendo consoles just because they can, and invent their own fiction to justify it to investors.

I actually do lol. Mainly because of the cost, and that it would take a while to get a replacement. It does cost a lot, but the cost should go down over time.
