(In my opinion)

 

That being said, i and most gamers, see sales for reference, respectfully disagree.

If you use sales to determine whether something is good or not, I'm sure you'll agree that Call of Duty is the greatest series ever invented and that the Wii is much better than the PS3 and the 360 ever could dream of being.

But that would be taking what i meant out of context. Sales are not the only thing that could tell you this, but since i can't show you every site i go to, let every friend of mine speak to you and most gamers testify they don't even like the WiiU much less consider it, i use the sales figures this website provides to show you what i said.

I said it just became a must-buy, not that it has always been one. If you need the approval of the masses to justify a purchase, that's disappointing. Most people have never even played a Wii U, and don't even realize that the value of the new bundle is unparalleled.

You don't need to put word in my mouth to prove a ''point'' i never said i need the masses to justify my purchase, if i did i would love Call of Duty and have an iPhone. But the mass appeal is something these companies are trying to achieven, no matter how little value a niche group gives it or not.

You did say that when you mentioned how important the feedback of game sites, sales data, and your friends' opinions were to you. I'm not putting words in your mouth.

I never said they were important to me.  I was letting you know that the observation is not merely an anecdotal one.

If you say so. Your very first post said that you agreed with the masses due to sales data.

That's what you make of it, feel free to show me otherwise where this exactly has been said? Sales are how you see if others share your opinion, nothing more. For example i don't like Rihanna, but i do know that she enjoys great sales. Which is how i know that my opinion of her is not a popular one.

Best games.... Best franchises... Inferior... Superior... Best value...


I hate those sentences and i see a lot of them in every Nintendo Threads X_X

Name me one next-gen game currently out on another console better than MK8/WWHD/3DW/Pikmin. There's a reason the games get that kind of praise.


Seems like a silly request, you're just going to disagree with any game put forth.  I mean I love towerfall, but you're just going to say it's not as good because that's your opinion.  Now if you admitted that your own evaluation of these games were an opinion you wouldn't have a problem, but instead you want to talk about these things in absolutes which is ridiculous.

if you want a ps4 and a game to play something online and an extra controler: 400$+50$+60$+60$= 570$ (console, ps+, controler and the game)

wii U: 330$.
and the game is mario kart. no competition.

If I understand, he is referring to all games available right now. Not just one or two. And Wii U have a better library now. Period
