Yes that's how selectiveness works.


They arent advertising the Wii...

Exactly this is PR, which is why it's selective.


What? Thats like saying where was the "We have the fastest selling system ever"  from Sony during the PS3 era...

No, it's not like that. It's like saying you have sold near 10 million consoles.



MetaTrolls that fought against each other will correct this in a few days if they get wind of Nintendo's claim.

Then no current gen Nintendo game will have a user score higher than 8.4 anymore. ;)

Measuring by user score when games on all three competitors get zeros is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. If anything it hints that if you aren't playing Nintendo you're less bitter about it.

I get the meta critic, but using user score too, that's just embarrassing.


why is it embarassing? you can't act like the User Score is irrelevant. if User Scores had no relevance then they would all be roughly the same; but the reality is some games have fantastic user averages and some have mediocre or bad. there are tons of Nintendo haters out there, so explain to me how it makes any sense that their games remain highly rated if the user-Meta has no relevance? surely there are as many Nintendo haters as any other brand out there

also you look at a game like Dragon Age Inquistiion that has a kajillion negative reviews per system, and then you look at a Nintendo game which is beloved almost universally by those playilng it. you can't cut it anyway you want- there has to be some consistency in how you judge a rating system. it doesn't make sense that the users are killing certain games and then letting other games remain high for no apparent reason (despite that brand having tons of haters). my point is that obviously the user Metacritic rating is quite relevant and to some degree represents the quality and respect a game has

Nintendo is stating facts

Where did these "facts" go during the Wii times?


right which is why they are bragging about it now. you don't brag about something if it is currently happening. think please, do yourself a favor and think



Ok. Watch. I'll just log on and rank all Nintendo games zero.
Does that make it relevant? Of course not. Which is what goes on with user scores. I mean, really, how it's even possible to rate something a ZERO is beyond me.

So yes. Very embarrassing.

And did Bayonetta get a separated score from Bayonetta 2? If not XBOX ONE have a 4 in 1 to brag about too.

Yes:

http://www.metacritic.com/game/wii-u/bayonetta

And it is possible to buy Bayonetta separately from Bayonetta 2.

Also it is not about User-scores alone, but both Critic-score and user-score abovve 85. That's quite an accomplishment.


it's almost like users on this site are not familiar with Metacritic- it is extremely rare for the a game to be universally loved by critics and fans alike. I would argue that the fan/user rating is almost more valuable than the critics, because critics are so often persuaded to review in certain fashions

I would say both critic-reviews and user-reviews have their own problems, but different ones. So putting them together makes sense actually. That are two indicating data-points instead of only one. Still not the best metric, but the lead here is solid enough.

 

More problematic actually is, that 3DS and WiiU are longer on the market than PS4/XBO/Vita and therefore could gain more titles. But PR always do cherry picking, so it's OK that for once Nintendo gets a good result. But some people here can't accept one good thing for Nintendo, while PR-cherry-picking in favor of the company they are supporting is always praised. *sigh*

Most advertising from game companies are embarrassing...



I also put it forth that given the more heated competition between Microsoft and Sony due to sharing games on their platforms, user scores actually ARE more heated between them.
