I can respect that. I agree that nintendo make some really great games. But imho, so does everyone else. Looking back at every game in all the genres I have played, the only genre that I may tentatively give nintendo the crown is in side scrolling platform based games. And thats because even though I feel a game like LBP has more depth and variety, its floaty controls puts it behind offerings from nintendo. 

But when it comes to every other genre, I can only assume that most of the nintendo faithful simply haven't played other games in those genres and is why they champion nintendo games.

Like kets take MK. At its core its a arcade/combat/racing/tactical game. You basically race around, pick up power-ups or weapons and how or what you choose to use or pick up determines if you win the race or not. Personally, I feel it doesn't hold a candle to a game like Wipeout (especially wipeout HD/fury) which is basically the same kinda game just considerably harder cause emphasis is actually put on learning the tracks and piloting the crafts very well. And this is just an example....

According to VGcharts Wii U 289 games, Xbone 189, Ps4 269. i assume you have the xbox

Why because I think Splatoon looks lame?  Because I'm getting sick of old Nintendo franchises? Dude, I've been playing Zelda games for 20+ yrs, I'm worn out. 

This is the obvious opinion that you dress up like a fact:

"Nintendo are by far the best 1st party developerer and have the best exclusives."

The rest of your post here really doesn't have anything to do with what I wrote.

If you only own a Wii U then you will factually miss out on more games than you would if you only owned a PS4/X1/PC, if we start to add in quality or anything like that, then we enter the realm of opinions again, which would make this question impossible to answer since everybody likes different games and will thus have different standpoints on where they would miss out more.

Well, I guess that's your opinion too. I only miss Drago age and the witcher 3. People keep telling me of all "these" AAA 3rd party games I'll be missing, but for me, that's about it. I'm also looking at the steam machine possibility in future. I apologise if I came across as opinionated. I honestly loved my ps3, ps2 and psx.
