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

bunchanumbers on 23 April 2015

Is it really such a bad thing that Nintendo fans are on this site? You can get Nintendoom news anywhere else on the internet. Not to mention Sony fans gloating. I like that Nintendo topics can be discussed with little persecution.

It's been a while like that. And the more Nintendo gets isolated and unsuccessful on the market, the more the fans are going to be vocal to defend their champion.

OP: "I am talking saleswise."

Hardware sales this gen so far: Nintendo 61 mio, Sony 31 mio.

Last gen: Nintendo 255 mio, Sony 166 mio.

Never underestimate the Nintendo userbase.

Also, popular 1st/2nd party games get more threads pre/post release than popular 3rd party/multiplat games. Nintendo has more popular own IPs than Sony or Microsoft.

I think that nintendo fans like community and to talk about their favorite games with like minded gamers.

I'm fairly new relative to the Gens and being part of the site, but I believe the a large amount are left over from the 7th Gen. I'd say they make up 50% of the forums.
By the end of this Gen I expect there to be slightly less Nintendo fans and slightly more Sony fans.

I don't understand this. The 3DS is selling amazingly, and the Wii U is selling like shit, and Nintendo is called a failure. The PS4 is selling amazingly, and the Vita is selling like shit, and Sony is called a success. Don't they cancel each other out?

Well, they don't exactly cancel each other out. Just look at the yearly sales:

 

  • PS-hardware 2014 (PS4 + PS3 + Vita + PSP) = 20.6 million
  • Nintendo-hardware 2014 (WiiU + Wii + 3DS + DS) = 13.9 million
  • PS-software 2014 (PS4 + PS3 + Vita + PSP) = 190 million
  • Nintendo-software 2014 (WiiU + Wii + 3DS + DS) = 125 million

  • PS-hardware 2015 (so far) = 3.4 million
  • Nintendo-hardware 2015 (so far) = 2.4 million
  • PS-software 2015 (so far) = 28 million
  • Nintendo-software 2015 (so far) = 16 million

PS4 doing extremely well, kinda overrides Vita. Not really fair to combine imo

 

PS4= Major Success

PSV= Disaster

WiiU= Disaster

3DS= Good

 

I do agree with Skull, People remember only PS4 and not Vita while some odd reason 3DS doesn't exist when "Doom" comes into place :p

I suppose it's a coincidence... I didn't join VG because I'm a Nintendo fan. I was a lurker some time, then I joined because I liked how the mods moderated, the discussions and because I want to improve my English very bad lol. In addition, you would be surprised how much I was bullied because of me being a Nintendo fan in other forums (coincidence, I guess). I suppose I always chose wrong, so, I ended here ;)
