Nintendo has always made hits and their consoles never do exceedingly well. Wii was a major exception.

handhelds on the other hand are a different matter.

When you have a series as well known and loved as zelda and metroid, and the two can't even outsell an uncharted game, you know there is a problem with the audience, not the developer.

Of course there is also multi-format games which can be brilliant. The wii u started off getting piss-poor multi-format games weaker than last gen and now it doesn't get any at all. The PS4 gets the very best multi-format console games only beaten by PC versions on reasonable spec PC hardware.

The reason the wii u has failed to sell is its not really an upgrade from last gen its a sideways movement. Yes graphically better with a bit more memory but with far weaker cpu performance and no built in hard drive. This time around it didn't have a gimmick that caught consumers interest like the motion controller.

In all fairness Nintendo has done brilliantly well to sell 9m of such a weak underpowered console at such a premium price. 9 million is quite impressive. I think if Sony or Microsoft had released such a console at the same price I don't think either would have sold anywhere near 9m.

Shokio, Blackbond, and the other stooges with opinions and Youtube channels are some of the absolute worst people in the video game community. They're a tiny group out to waste every one else's time with bait videos and uninspired trash talk. I'd take the opinion of a randomer on here over these wangs who only upload when they're running out of ad pennies any day.

This lol! 

I can't call any of PS4's first party games "flops". I mean look at Driveclub, game easily outsold Forza Horizon 2, not sure on F5 though. 

What flops has Sony released??? Nintendo is doing bad because of marketing, and weak hardware. PS4 and the X1 are much more than just a gaming rig making the price more justifiable. 

I think they meant review flop

lol but agree

my lord and savior  driveclub destroyed expectations(yes I am a driveclub fanboy)

Twilight Princess outsold every Uncharted last generation, on one of the most casual console ever.

Does any console have a must own exclusive? Is there a game on Wii U that has a 100% attach rate? Must own is such a stupid term, because there isn't a video game in all of history that everyone who owned the platform for it bought or played the game.

Fact is PS4 has plenty of good quality games that do not exist on a Nintendo platform and if you want those games you have to choose between PS4, Xb one and PC. And for some good quality games you only have PS4 and PC to choose from.

Nintendo's problem is that the so called must have games it releases are repeats of franchises that are several generations old. In terms of exclusives there's virtually no new IP in Nintendo's top line up of games. Perhaps what gets people coming to Playstation is the frequency with which they bring new IP to the table. Some might flop, some might be merely OK or good and a few turn out to be major gaming masterpieces. People are willing to get behind a company that produces new IP even if a lot of it happens to be underwhelming. Because people know some true gems will come out of that sort of game development philosophy.

Nintendo is still trying to milk success out of Mario, Zelda and Pokemon after how many years and how many games using those central IP?

wind waker is combined sold over 6 million :)

people add last of us with its last gen counterpart all the time so I dont see why not XD

Never heard of them but I'll take your word for it. Are they like crapgamerreviews and nrxtgen720?
