Let's not forget the other great games they made ;)

But one thing: Yoshis Island 2 wasn't actually developed by Nintendo, they published it.

Remember when Nintendo was trounced by the PS1 in the N64 days? There is your dispute.

And how the PS2 destroyed the Gamecube?

Sure they have the handheld market and the Wii is "winning". But, it is in no way "undisputed".

READ THE OP.

He CLEARLY mentions sales.

Follow a conversation, for your own sake at least. You look foolish if you don't.

They sure are consistant with review scores, but I'd honestly like to see them modernize their franchises. Thats the main reason that I abhore Nintendo first party games. They're either whimsical nonsense or are outdated experiences. I'd like to see some cutscenes, intricate stories, voice acting, and higher production values.

The OP states UNDISPUTED. When Nintendo clearly IS disputed.

You question makes NO sense, since I already stated the DS (PSP's competition) and the Wii (PS3's competition) is ahead. Right now, sure, they are doing great. But, since you asked it, you answer it. I do not care. I am addressing the OP on the undisputed remark.

But, in the past, they held a terrible market share with the Gamecube. And the N64 was wrecked by the PS1 (Nintendo lost Final Fantasy, Sony got Resiedent Evil, Sony got Metal Gear, Sony got Gran Turismo, etc. etc.)

Don't forget the past, thats where Nintendo make MANY mistakes.

Yeah because that sounds like total BS. I don't think it's even possible to calculate what is actually going to consumers since there are so many different ways to buy it. I thought they all used shipped because it's the most accurate way to tell what's actually being moved from the manufacturers as opposed to estimates.

i stopped posting links from sites in terms of numbers for consoles sold worldwide ,reason being is that if a fanboys console is getting destroyed by another console ,they will claim foul and call the site unreliable and some poster will defend the console of his favorite and call the site reputable and it will be an on going cycle , so we are not going that route ...theres only 1 solution when it comes to worldwide figures sold .only time will tell the story and by the end of the year and once all 3 console manufacturers announce their worldwide figures ,the nearest competitor to the wii will be behind by @ least 10 million units

Yes, Nintendo and MS count systems sold to retail while Sony counts systems manufactured and in their warehouses.

Also since MS announced last year that they were at 17.7 million and there was a time in February that 360's were sold out it must be pretty safe to say that the 360 count is probably around 18 million.

lol.. why mention hardware sales when PS2 and PS1 obliterated the competition last gen. Not only that compare the DS AAAes and the PSP AAAes and the difference isn't that much. Which brings me to the fact that PSP outsold both Wii and DS in Japan.

IMHO Nintendo isn't even top 5 since the GC era when it comes to being the best developers. Top 10 definately.

The odd thing about this list is, Super Mario Galaxy is possibly the best game I've played this generation, but Warioware is one of the worst gaming purchases I've ever made.

That isn't answering my question at all.

HOW DO YOU KNOW NINTENDO COUNTS UNITS SOLD TO CUSTOMERS AND NOT SHIPPED TO RETAILERS LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE?

If you are going to post a definitive statement about something, you must expect to be called on it. And your source must be ironclad as to remove any doubt about your statement. This shouldn't be hard unless your source is suspect.

I wouldn't post a damn thing here unless I had proof. I know people get annoyed when asked for proof, but I don't see a problem with it, especially with the amount of suspect data that is casually thrown about in this forum.

My request has nothing to do with me being a fanboy, I am interested in knowing the truth, which is why I asked.

i am not here to prove anything to anyone ,you want to see worldwide figures ,do a google search (like i did) once u find the sites then it's up to you if you find them credible or not ,do i care if you dont believe me and the numbers i posted ? of course not ,but once you google who is truly winning the console war you will notice a trend from various sites and the answer is very clear ..

p.s nintendo (most of the time @ least) will mention either their numbers are shipped (sold to retailers) or sold (sold to gamers) during their quarterly reports

no, ssbb is a small upgrade, galaxy is slightly more innovative, but the real innovation lies in wii sports, wii fitt, trauma centre, and what they've done with the ds.

so you only play true innovative games? idoubt it. probably just small upgrades from games you allready played.

story is overrated. it's an excuse for gameplay.. buy a book.

There is a HUGE difference between "innovation" and "modernization". When you look at most first party Nintendo titles they are stuck in the past to some degree. While they do take advantage of the wiimote to varying extents, their core gameplay is practically a direct descendant to their predecessors. They need higher production values, voice over, and story to compete in the modern era of games.

i stopped posting links from sites in terms of numbers for consoles sold worldwide ,reason being is that if a fanboys console is getting destroyed by another console ,they will claim foul and call the site unreliable and some poster will defend the console of his favorite and call the site reputable and it will be an on going cycle , so we are not going that route ...theres only 1 solution when it comes to worldwide figures sold .only time will tell the story and by the end of the year and once all 3 console manufacturers announce their worldwide figures ,the nearest competitor to the wii will be behind by @ least 10 million units

That isn't answering my question at all.

HOW DO YOU KNOW NINTENDO COUNTS UNITS SOLD TO CUSTOMERS AND NOT SHIPPED TO RETAILERS LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE?

If you are going to post a definitive statement about something, you must expect to be called on it. And your source must be ironclad as to remove any doubt about your statement. This shouldn't be hard unless your source is suspect.

I wouldn't post a damn thing here unless I had proof. I know people get annoyed when asked for proof, but I don't see a problem with it, especially with the amount of suspect data that is casually thrown about in this forum.

My request has nothing to do with me being a fanboy, I am interested in knowing the truth, which is why I asked.

i am not here to prove anything to anyone ,you want to see worldwide figures ,do a google search (like i did) once u find the sites then it's up to you if you find them credible or not ,do i care if you dont believe me and the numbers i posted ? of course not ,but once you google who is truly winning the console war you will notice a trend from various sites and the answer is very clear ..

p.s nintendo (most of the time @ least) will mention either their numbers are shipped (sold to retailers) or sold (sold to gamers) during their quarterly reports

So your response to someone asking you to clarify a statement you made is "Go search Google"?

Why'd you even bother to answer in the first place? It's nice to know you have no proof though.

the proof that you will only accept and will not deny is that when every gaming site on the planet announces wii's lead of over 10 million units over it's nearest competitor by the end of the year ,so just wait ..we will get there

[QUOTE="Always-Honest"]no, ssbb is a small upgrade, galaxy is slightly more innovative, but the real innovation lies in wii sports, wii fitt, trauma centre, and what they've done with the ds.so you only play true innovative games? idoubt it. probably just small upgrades from games you allready played.story is overrated. it's an excuse for gameplay.. buy a book.Vandalvideo
There is a HUGE difference between "innovation" and "modernization". When you look at most first party Nintendo titles they are stuck in the past to some degree. While they do take advantage of the wiimote to varying extents, their core gameplay is practically a direct descendant to their predecessors. They need higher production values, voice over, and story to compete in the modern era of games.

wiisports and wiifit are first party too.. the wiimote is first party and the ds is first party.. zelda: PH has great innovative controls , and so have wii sports.

i think you are the one playing modernised games mainly while you accuse nintendo of doing the same. fans ask fore these games.

Voice over isn't required at all... why?. you have somne strange standards.. story is of NO importance in games and are usually very unoriginal (save the world/ defeat the enemy). The only thing i dislike about the wii are the graphics.. i'd like them to be up to par with 360 or ps3.. but gameplay is fine.

I wonder...if they are the best (don't get me wrong, I think they are top 3 devs)...why can't they make ANY new sucessful IPs. Nintendogs was one I suppose...but that's a gimmick game.

Nintendo is still the best because they have GOTY.

What does that have to do with anything? My question wasn't about the numbers. I could really CARE LESS. It was about the method of retrieving the data to arrive at those numbers. The more this goes on the more I'm convinced you have no frigging idea. I asked you a simple question and you try and cloud the issue.

I asked you nicely TWICE and you respond to me with some nonsense about fanboys not believing you. Forget I asked, as it seems you don't have an intelligent response to what I thought, was a pretty simple request. I'm far from a fanboy of any faction here, I have owned all of the consoles and handhelds at one time or another. I'm just looking for reliable data. You have none. Good day.
