the bolded isn't true and the point that is true isn't an advantage. sony should think some more before making these coments.

Maybe Sony dont consider the WiiU competition?

right, sony doesn't consider the biggest company in the business as competition.

Nintendo is not the biggest company in the buisness. Microsoft is probably bigger than Sony+Nintendo combined

I'll give you one last chance. are you talking about whole companies? as in sony and MS as a whole? because I'm not, this is about gaming divisions (in case of nintendo, the whole company). And nintendo is the biggest game developer and hardware manufacturer out there.

Even in the gaming business they aren't even the largest company. If Mr Kahn tried intimidating anyone in this thread it should have been you. You keep making outrageous claims about Nintendo in almost every single thread. And if you were just talking about the gaming divisions maybe you should specify that.

this is a gaming forum, who needs to specify what business we are talking about?


This is a sales site, and looking at Wii U sales I wouldn't say Ninty is the biggest in the market. EA or Activision/Blizzard releases much more games, sony developes more hardware, xbox pushed online gaming further on consoles, so I don't see Ninty as this all mighty god.

looking at wii/ds/3ds hardware sales + nintendo's software sales on every platform, it's safe to say nintendo is the biggest.

p.s: what are those "much more" games from activision/blizzard?

Pretty sure MS and Sony ignored the Wii for most of last generation. That was when the Wii was selling well too.

they ignored the wii so much that they spent the first half of the gen developing motion sensor acessories. in microsoft's case, they're still trying to push said item even now, with the xone.

this week

ps3+psp+psvita = 158+33+37=228 k

wii+ds+3ds=23+8+150= 181 k

SONY LTD = PS+PS2+PS3+PSP+PSVITA = 104+158+79+80+6= 427M (341M consoles + 86M handhelds) 3 and 2 platforms

NINTY LTD = NES+SNES+N64+WII+WIIU+GB+DS+3DS = 62+49+33+100+3+200+155+33 = 635M (247M consoles and 388M handhelds) 5 and 3/4 platforms

So if we are talking about PS4 vs WiiU I hardly see why Ninty would be the biggest company in the market...

 

And Activision and EA have a bunch of games Ninty fans complain that aren't released on their console so they can not buy it even so.  But if you like go do your research and see which company releases more SW yearly.

So that's why they don't have any launch games.

Reason why they delayed Infamous Second Son confirmed.

Watch Dogs aside, which I'll put off since I'm getting GTA5, I'm sure I'm not the only one who has no iinterest in anything else at launch.  After hearing it wasn't coming out until 2014 didn't bother preordering.

psp + ps3 + vita = 80 + 80 + 5 = 165

ds + wii + 3ds = 155 + 100 + 33 = 288

I won't even start on the software.

"And Activision and EA have a bunch of games Ninty fans complain that aren't released on their console so they can not buy it even so". thank you for not answering my question and dodging it with that pointless statement.

If you wanted to be fair, you would have started at the PSX for consoles and PSP for portables.  PSX/N64, PS2/Gamecube, PS3/Wii, PSP/DS, Vita/3DS.  But you go ahead and cherry pick your numbers.

Increase the price to 600. That should do it.

And thank you by choosing the 3 consoles that sould less on PS history and 2 of the best selling on Ninty side...

Do you really want me to list all the softwares from activision??? way easier to go to the chartz and select the company. Anyway everyday there are Ninty fans complaining that they didn't get a good version o CoD (even though I think the game in all consoles a thud) or that third parties don't try hard enough on it...

And by playing your game we could do like this PS+PS2+PSP=342M  versus GC+WiiU+3DS= 69M and say sony is way bigger... don't select just the part of the data that is more favorable to you. And I haven't said Sony sells more 1st party SW than Ninty because I'm not delusional... but if your are talking about SW sold on their platforms, present which Ninty console have sold more than 1,5 Billion SW in one platform as PS2 have done.
