Take a look at the top 100, it tells the story as the top 10.

74/100 belong to Shooter, Sports, Action

Why would I when it is misleading? Not only does it not include games like Journey because they are digital, it also does not include games that sell well enough to guarantee sequels or similar games but not well enough to make the top 100. What does it matter how much they sell if the ps4 owner has the option to buy them? If they didn't sell well at all, they simply wouldn't be made. They are niche games but the point is that they exist.

It's like disregarding all music because what sells most is pop singers.

The OP doesnt just say that PS has more diversity, he says that PS gamers have the most diverse tastes.

You can identify what the overwhelming majority of PS gamers tastes are by looking at the software sales which are absolutely dominated by 3 genres.

That is why sales matter because the OP is talking about the userbases tastes in gaming, which for the most part is not very diverse.

I do know what the list is about, its to show the diverse lineup of Playstation IP...........just like he showed the diverse lineup of Nintendo IP.

You guys did the same thing.

Then you clearly missed the point. I did not mention all the games that ps4 has, only some that make the console unique. My point wasn't that ps4 offers plenty of genres (which it does), but specifically that if someone wants a game like Until Dawn, the only place to get it is on ps4. That's a type of game you don't find anywhere else. I was asking if anyone could give me examples of similar games on a Ninty console. Making a list of games that wiiu (and 3ds for some bizzare reason) has is not addressing my point.

It's like saying "hey does your school offer any racket sports?". And the answer being "actually it offers baskeball and volleyball, and football, and ...". That doesn't answer my question at all. Sure my school has volleyball too, but I'm interested in tennis which my school also offers and if I were to switch (no pun intended) schools, I'd like to see what racket sports your school offers.

Name me a game like Zelda or Animal Crossing from Sony, name me a game like Fire Emblem from Sony, name me a game like Splatoon from Sony, name me a game like Kid Icarus Uprising from Sony, name me a game like Xenoblade from Sony

Well obviously you didnt list all the games PS4 has, just like he didnt list all the games Nintendo has.

Also there is nothing weird about adding 3DS games as this thread never states its about home consoles, the OP divides them between Playstation, Xbox & Nintendo, not Wii U.

But you are correct that Playstation offers game experiences that are unique to their ecosystem, but the same thing can be said about Xbox & Nintendo as well.

Yet I listed unique experience, while he listed different genres. And he didn't answer my specific question which was my point.

Ok, in your opinion, which Ninty/MS games offer unique experiences?

And I mean actually unique. Not "Tearaway has creation tools, so it's totally unique" kind of unique.
