What an embarassment for those first party games been outsould by a garage kiddy game in a 1/3 installbase.

It's a shame that cannot be erased.

Not even time will make people forget it.

Although Nintendo are in good shape from a financial POV, they horded their cash lol.

Funny analcysts.

And The Last of Us sold twice as much as Splatoon (First Party). And Bloodborne sold twice as much as Bayonetta 2... and... uh... 50 times as much as Devil's third (Third Party).

 

 

Mario Kart 8.

What about Mario Kart 8?



Hunting Season is done...

I know it's a joke article but it annoys me when people say Nintendo fans will blindly buy anything Nintendo makes.

Is that why Codename STEAM, Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, Fossil Fighters: Frontier (in the west) all flopped?

Why haven't Tropical Freeze, Captain Toad, Pikmin 3, Rainbow Curse, Woolly World sold nearly as much as Splatoon, Mario Maker, Smash Bros, Mario Kart?

Does it also annoy you when people say that the Nintendo games which do well only do so because of a lack of competition?

to me, yes

Yes because even on Nintendo devices that have had strong 3rd party support, 1st party games still sold amazing and always the best sellers.

"It's still the same old problem. Sony games don't sell on Sony systems, but first party software is where the big money comes from. For example, Splatoon outsold The Order 1886 and Bloodborne combined in a matter of months despite the Wii U having only one third of the installed base of the PS4. My advice for Sony is to develop games for Nintendo platforms because their users have historically been very receptive for high quality first party software. It's a strategy that is already working for Microsoft, so Sony should follow suit. What's especially sad on PlayStation is that gamers routinely pick Ubisoft games over Sony titles, and people don't even like Ubisoft."

"*NTH (Now that's hardcore) is a fictive market research firm that collects its data primarily from internet message boards."

OK. A link still should be mandatory.

Splatoon and The Last of Us on PS4 are both at 4 million. Mario Kart 8 is outselling it handedly. Splatoon is outselling Bloodborne 2 to 1. 

You cannot compare a game like Splatoon that was marketed to kids for months on end to a niche game like a soul game.
