Today is ridiculous on vgc. Every post in hot topics is a venomous Nintendo thread. That's an everyday thing but goddamn today is ridiculous. Why don't we look at the chartz ????
no.1 software this week??Nintendo game
No. GTA V and COD sold more.
i see. You are correct. I made an error. Having your game at no.1 doesn't amount to much.
no.1 hardware every week??? Nintendo hardware
During the 3DS' peak year against dying/supply constrained consoles, and not even by all that much on average. Hardly something to celebrate, but have at it.
it's been doubling it's closest competitor handily all the live long day. When everyone doubles Wii U doesn't that warrant a celebration?
You mean the PS3? IIRC it sold close to 9m in 2013 and the 3DS sold about 13m. Maybe my math is off but that doesn't look like double to me. Either way, this is once again a system's peak year vs a 7 year old console with dwindling support and a strongly performing succesor. Not exactly something to brag about.
Most 8th gen consoles sold?? Nintendo
Do I really need to point out why this is silly? The Dreamcast had the most consoles sold at one point too.
Alright okay you got me. This was to reinforce the no.1 spots that Nintendo holds in every position on the chartz. Let me enjoy it.
Most 8th gen handhelds sold?? Nintendo
This is essentially just your second point reworded.
If it's redundant than why a separate chart for it?
Umm..what?
Most profits every generation??? NINTENDO
Only if you're adding Nintendo's handhelds and home consoles together against just the competitor's consoles. Otherwise that wouldn't have been remotely true for the N64/Gamecube. The fact that you have to try and add two devices together just to compete against one says something.
Didn't you do this your self a second ago? Pokemon isn't no.1 gta/cod is if you add two devices. Does that say something? We are talking about games by a company and the profits they bring in total. You can't dismiss half a companies games/systems! it's the total, right?
No. Adding together the units of ONE product that is available on multiple platforms is not the same as adding together two seperate platforms entirely. Even if it were the same situation, I didn't make a thread trying to convince people that take two/ GTA is better than Nintendo/Pokemon. I was just pointing out that what you said was incorrect, not using it as some sort of point to brag about as you are doing.
Who has money in the bank??? Nintendo
Hell, even Sony has money in the bank. What is this even supposed to mean?
Sony made huge profits from ps1/2, HUGE!! Then they poured those very same in the wars of attrition known as psp/3/v. The have nothing left to show for it except 2-5 billion. Ms xbox is negative 2-5 billion. Nintendo is up 35-40 billion. (exact no. fluctuates). Can you see what I mean?
Well first of all, I don't know that those numbers are accurate. I'd like a source. But even if they are, Nintendo has had far longer to acquire those profits, and far more products in the market to do so. They also had far less competition for their first two gens than Sony or MS. It's an extremely unfair, and thus, pointless, comparison.
Also, on a side note, I'm fairly sure the PSP was profitable.
Who has the systems with the best rated games????? Nintendo
Not true for 7th gen home consoles. Not sure about handhelds, but If you're talking about 8th gen home consoles then this is just as silly as your third point.
Not silly, Not talking about 7th gen. I'm talking about Wii U vs ps4 vs xONE vs 3ds vs psv. Nintendo fans have more fun.
Not silly? You're talking about a console that has been on the market for over a year now and talking about how its library is better than consoles that just released as though that is some sort of achievement. Can you imagine how sad that would be if that weren't the case?
Who has the best games coming in 2014???? Nintendo
As was already established, this isn't even a point.
It is from certain perspectives, from certain tastes. Open world rpgs with mechs and on down the line. Many would say Wii U has the better 2014.
And many would say it doesn't. That's kind of what subjective means.
Who's on top of the totem pole??? Nintendo
Again, what is this even supposed to mean? You'd be hard pressed to find many examples of this being the case currently.
As i stated in the title. Look at the chartz!! It ain't hard. There are four places to get ranked. Total console sales, total handheld sales, weekly software sales, and weekly hardware sales. Where's Nintendo? No.1 No.1 No.1 No.1
And this is solely the result of a system in its peak year that's only competition is either very old or brand new and supply constrained.
Also, the fact that you bring up total console sales as a positive point is hilarious for the same reasons i pointed out in the part about the best rated games
Gawd!! Does anybody know what it's like being a Nintendo fan on vgc?? It's freaking rough. So the Wii U is a little behind the weekly sales of competing hardwares during their holiday launch. So? So Wii U isn't no.1 this holiday. Nintendo is! Just stahp!
