WTH? Im srry but how does that make sense when 2 of the 3 best selling games this generation is Mario games?

Also Destiny is a FPS, that is by far the most popular genre and beats almost any other genre out easily. Example its more impressive a fighting game sells 5mil than a FPS selling 10mil in this day and age

So what if it's an FPS. Super Mario Bros sold good, but you don't see people say well platformers were very hot then otherwise it would've sold worse. Excuses are not needed. However that is not the topic in this thread. Anyone interested in discussing THAT?

This does not even count digital downloads. Like my copy that I bought and never play.

Not to be rude but, this is hands down one of the dumbest statements i've seen on this site.

Some can't discuss normally it seems. Name calling as fast as you feel threatened..

Except for the fact that I did not call you or andyone a name...

So someone can make a dumb statement and be smart?

I dunno. Destiny may not be a great game, but it's certainly better than MK8. Most gamers don't even like Mario.


Most gamers don't like Mario? Mario is the single biggest video game franchise of all time. Gamers love Mario. Destiny isn't on the same stratosphere as Mario Kart 8.

So was FF, Tetris and Crash Bandicoot to name a few. Not so much anymore. We're talking about 2014 and onward here.

 2014 and onward.... HIGHEST Per System (not as a whole as Destiny+Watchdogs are currently winning by a good amount.

MK8: 2.5mil+ (3rd best)

Mario Party (3DS): 700k+ (35th best and came out last year)

NSMBU: 700k+ (42nd best and came out in 2012)

Yoshi New Island: (43rd best)

SM3DW: 660k+ (50th best)

MK7: 650k+ (52nd best and came out almost 3 years ago).

Can we not say comments like "nobody likes mario"? I wont add SSB (just cuz it doesn't have mario in its name but i guess mk counts despite it not being a platformer) :0

Facts would disagree with you but who needs those! (Also Crash was never on any level with relation to Tetris or Mario, Final Fantasy is arguable.)

Makes sense for a better game to sell more


Better Game? 

Nintendo only gamers do have a very narrow view on games.

Activision has it's money. After that you're free to do with it what you wish.

Yes. That's a pretty easy thing to do infact.

Thanks for stating the obvious.

Oh i get it! Destiny is better than MK8! It all makes perfect sense now :0 Shooters>>>>>>>>>>>>>Racers! I hate gen7/8 :'-( (lol jk)


I think people need to stop with the "shooters are horrible" thing. A lot of shooters are pretty good. Medal of Honor (PS1), Killzone 2, Halo 3, Quake 2, Goldeneye are some of the best game ever and are better than a lot of racers, platformers and so on. Of course, Gran Turismo 2 and Need for Speed: Underground are some of the best ever made too. The game's genre doesn't define if it is good or bad, its own quality does it.

About Destiny, it isn't bad but it isn't a great game too. It's decent and things stop there. My biggest complain is the 12 player PVP while even on last gen 16 was the base and on current gen everything is usually in the 24-64 range. MK8 is the best game of the two, but it isn't a masterpiece too since it is just an incremental update over previous games on the franchise.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.
