Opinions.

Incredible stuff.

Yes but some are accepted more than others and I think EA has a lot more fans than Nintendo atleast for the high quality of their games.

No, certainly not.

EA has fans across PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One while Nintendo has fans on 3DS and Wii U. I'm pretty sure EA published games have sold more combined than Nintendo games the last couple of years excluding casual software. So I stand corrected.


Sure, if you move the goal post any company can sell more than the other. Nintendo might be the new EA but if there is one thing they are different is in software sales. Nintendo decimates EA in that regard.

In terms of games released in this decade, I don't think so.

Take a quick glance at the game totals, indeed Nintendo sold more software by far. Of course if you don't count "casual games" (whatever you consider "casual games" which could be anything) then yes EA clearly sold more.

We don't know PC software sales for any of their multiplats or Sims games. Also the consoles they publish their games on have far higher digital sales than Nintendo games.

True but until you can give out concrete numbers I can safely assume that Nintendo sold more software. We can speculate that EA sold a lot digitally but I have no idea what that might be. Nintendo certainly makes more profit though.

 Well if you only look at games on consoles alone then EA games far outsold Nintendo games. Consoles and PC's are made to play real games. Handhelds are best used as an alternative on the move.

Nintendo makes more profit because they develop games which don't push technological boundaries even on weak platforms. While EA uses state-of-the-art engines on powerful hardware. Also they innovate with each game and have to maintain servers.

Are you doing your maths correctly? You where talking about the last decade right? 2000-2010I am pretty sure Nintendo sold more software in consoles than EA. I can do the math for you if you want but I rather not.

Oh you are one of those guys who think handheld games are not real games? There is nothing to discuss with you then, I feel like I'm talking with zod95 to be honest.

I'm talking about post-2010 decade.

We are currently at the year 2014, there is still 6 years before we can talk about this decade. Even then if we count handheld games sales then I'm pretty sure that Nintendo still has the advantage in this 4 years.

Except Nintendo makes the best games in the industry, while EA's output is a mixed bag at best. :p

Nintendo doesn't  even come close to EA's high quality games. I'll take Mass Effect and Battlefield over Mario and Zelda anyday.

And I'll take even a second tier Nintendo franchise like Pikmin or Kirby over anything EA has.

Opinions.

Yes but some are accepted more than others and I think EA has a lot more fans than Nintendo atleast for the high quality of their games.

Uhh... No.

How many people are going to remember Mass Effect in 15 years? How about 30?



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

It rings a bell, but let me google it.

EA released many amazing games in 2013 like DRMCity SimCity and Crashfield 4 Battlefield 4. The industry would be dead without EA's amazing games.
