We all know Nintendo is the best and deserves to be on top. But what reason is the reason of all reasons that they deserve this honor? The list before you are reasons why Nintendo is the best compiled by members of VGC. (Thread reference ->) http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=88821&page=1

Now let's get to the rules. The rules are simple. You are allowed to vote once every three (3) hours, adding ONE plus (+) to whichever trait listed below that Nintendo has that makes them the best, and adding three (3) minuses (-) to whichever trait or traits that Nintendo doesn't need in order to still be the best. YOU CAN SPLIT UP MINUSES HOWEVER YOU WANT. If you don't have one plus and three minuses, your vote will not be counted. This will continue until we are left with the one defining reason that Nintendo rules all.

10 - Nintendo has branched out to new gamers, young and old.
