Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Has VGChartz become the home for Nintendo fans?

Seriously, the forums have been very Nintendo driven lately. As big a failure as Wii U is, it doesn't make sense. I am talking sales wise, not that it has terrible games.

As much as I dislike Xbox, it would make more sense to talk about it more. Of course PS is the most successful, so why not more Sony talk? Maybe 3DS, but a lot of Wii U posts are posted. If Nintendo is so interesting, why isn't it selling Wii U's and 3DS' like hotcakes and crushing Sony and MS? 

Did you ever consider that Nintendo is just more compelling to discuss than that of Sony and Microsoft?  Microsoft and Sony are set in ways, they're following the same pattern they've followed since Xbox vs PS2.  Honestly, Sony and Microsoft are more the same than not the same.  If there's a sony story, there's a microsoft comparison.  When Sony announced VR controller, Microsoft VR controller.  Move and Kinect.  HD and Blu-ray.  Gears and Resistance.  Cod on xbox and Cod on ps.  I mean come on, Xbox 360 and PS3, PS4 and XBox1, all numbers.  Which hard core game console are you talking about when you mention a super-graphic, photorealistic rendering, gritty, mature, sophisticated games console?  You're not talking about the Wii U, but you may be talking about the PS4 or Xbone. 

With Nintendo, they're never boring, or at least stands out more than the other two twins.  Gamecube has always been controversial, despite lowest sales of its generation, which got more attention from the videogame community.  Wii is far from what PS3 and 360 is, always have.  During E3, Nintendo always seems to be the most scrutinized just because they're doing different stuff from what the other two are doing.  Guest star appearance on both sony and microsoft, check.  Shooters, check.  Gritty lifelike game, check.  The fan service, check.  Rock N Roll enviroment, check.  Now if you're talking about NIntendo, they're always doing something weird, but at least they stand out. 

Also, the PS4 and Xbox1 have long legs and are going to be this way until we hear more about their VRs, but nintendo has amiibo, the replacement of Club nintendo, NX, DeNA, lowest sales of home console, Nintendo Stock at all time high, DLCs that are just better than what you would expect, and every other thing fans don't like or like about Nintendo.  The other two companies, they're just too similiar.

its more fun to talk about good games than over good sales.

Funny phenomenon - when a console is doing poorly, the fans seem to get really active.

There have always been a lot of Nintendo fans here. But we're definitely seeing lots of Nintendo lately.

When Sony wasn't doing as well, the Playstation fans were very active here.

This. I remeber the good old PS3 days, what a riot.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Around the Network

A lot of non Nintendo gamers are talking about them, mainly to rub it in that Wii U is failing sales wise. You then get response threads talking about the fantastic software on Wii U. Love em or hate em Nintendo are prob still the most talked about, and not just on these forums.



It all comes down to one thing, really: moderation

If you visit most forums people refer to Ninty games as "kiddie" and they don't get moderated. Ninty has become the butt of the joke in many sites and people who make fun of Ninty and its fans rarely moderated, while here it's far from the case. So VGC has become a safe place for them and also a not-so-safe one for people who see Ninty games as kiddie, rehashes, etc as they constantly get moderated and leave the site or post less.



Well I guess it's because the amount of Nintendo fans has always been the highest, Sony fans closely followed and Xbox fans are a huge minority on this site. I don't really personally mind, there are enough Sony fans to talk to about PlayStation and this place has a huge amount of diversity with Nintendo fans also taking part in Xbox and PlayStation related news articles.
