I would hope so as wiiu probably got 7-10 games this year and ps4 has 10x as many, probably 20x. Also your first point is irrelevant. Look at 3ds sw sales^ 

 

That's not Playstations fault it has a better library.  it is what is and that's it has a better library and sells more.  

 

Look a little closer.  I was talking about the home console software king.  3DS is irrelevant to that.  

 

It certainly has a larger library, but 'better' is subjective. I'd rather own Smash Bros WiiU, Mario Kart 8, and DKC: Tropical Freeze than any ten PS4 games. This doesn't mean WiiU's library is objectively 'better' either. It just contains more games that I enjoy.

"Somehow"? You mean because of that. The more games there are, the less each sells. Only so much money people can throw and it's harder than to just choose which Monster game you'll buy

 

Yep! That's why I was wondering if these developers also start making their games being also availble on the Next Nintendo hardware or lets say the 3DS, will the "More games there are, the less each sells" idea still work. Because we know both the 3DS and Wii U get hardly any games, but when they do at least a couple of games reach that million mark. 

Sadly you're not going to get the opportunity to test that. Like, ever.

Hahahahh YEp! Its one of those "What if" scenarios which are quite popular here on VGC =D 



 

On this situation,  I think the many smaller devs on Playstation should also support Nintendo but I also think the big devs supporting Nintendo should also support Playstation.  

 

Worldwide you don't see most devs choosing the ps4 over X1 or x1 over ps4. But in Japan they seem obsessed with exclusivity to one platform.  

 

Maybe if Nintendo make the NX similar to the ps4 we will finally see proper multiplatform support across the board in Japan.  Can only benefit Sony,  Nintendo and the 3Rd parties.

There are many games on Playstation that would appeal to a Nintendo fan like you,  it's just you never tried them.  

 

But when I say better I mean for the platform aka the ps4 not the individual player with individual tastes.  

 

Which console is going to last another 5+ years with support and which is getting replaced soon.  Yeah it's obvious which has the better line up in terms of the consoles success.

Dude, I own a PS3 and have played numerous playstation games. I know what the brand has to offer, and I re-interate my statement: those 3 games over any ten on the PS4.

It's not the WiiU's library that caused it to sell poorly; consider some of the ridiculous attach rates. The problem lies with how it was launched and marketed. I've met non-gamers who still think it's an add-on to the Wii not a new system.

You prefer PS4, that's fine. Don't confuse personal preference for something being objectively 'better'.

Yeah. I remember one of the Nintendo people said that they are either (can't really remember it) making their next console easier for developers to make/port their games on to it. This will be a big advantage for Nintendo, since they already have their exclusives.

It will also be an advantage to Sony because it works both ways.

You're the one who brought personal preference into this.  I'm merely pointing from a console sales point of view.  I presented facts.  The hard facts clearly show the ps4 library is and will continue to be far more beneficial to it than the Wii U library.  

 

It's selling a lot better and has a much brighter future ahead.  



 



Not much going on for the upcoming releases. More than half the chart is a month or so away. :-/

At least Summon Night 6 and Digimon got a point.
