Equal hardware? Excuse me? Who copied Nintendo last generation with motion controls? It certainly wasn't Sony and Microsoft, was it? They are a successful company with a profitable business model. Entitled gamers who think a company's sole reason to exist is to cater to their specific tastes and whims is the reason the gaming industry is the pitts right now.

DUde the stupid motion control gimmick the wii is based entirely on is just a cheap 100$ add on for the ps3. How does that make you feel?

[QUOTE="wasted_wisdom"][QUOTE="layton2012"][QUOTE="wasted_wisdom"] Dude, how is that even relevant to the point I'm making? You're a true gamer because you game constantly and not once a month everytime your aunty comes over for family night. Ok now (and follow me here) what if the console you have suddenly stops making games for you THE TRUE GAMER and starts making games for your aunty that comes over once a month entirely?

You're the one that said the true gamer wouldn't worry about Wii U games. Who only owns one console nowadays., but I'd be dissapointed but it's not going to happen no reason to worry myself with hypothetical that aren't going to happen.

Yeah I think a true gamer wouldn't care about half the gimmick nintendo puts out. If you think ONLY playing a casual shovelware like luigi world or whatever-the-hec makes you a true gamer then I'd have to disagree with you. If you play other games and occasionally play a casual game that doesn't mean you CARE about the game it means you're taking CASUAL BREAK.

I don't know what Luigi World is, but it sounds awesome, I play all games that interest me, simple as that. I love my Mario, but I also like Uncharted.

How badly does it hurt? 

Wiimotefan

Weird, how exactly do they manage the order?  

I just checked the highest all time page because there should be a lot of Nintendo games towards the top.

For example, Metroid Prime has a 97.  Where is it?  I thought maybe they omitted last gen games... but then I see plenty of last gen games that are on the front page like MGS2 and MGS3.

I just remember for a while Nintendo had almost half of the top 20.  

yea and Tloz oft has a 99 on metacritic http://www.metacritic.com/game/nintendo-64/the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time

Yayyy keeep proving my points and calling zelda and mario again. You guys call Zelda and Mario, Lemmings call GearsHALOFORZA and then you complain when people say you have no games. LOL the fact that you just called out a Zelda game was the main idea of this thread.

What pattern are you talkimg about? This is only the second time they have done that (or third if you count the 3DS), and that strategy gave them a very easy victory last gen.Planeforger
actually all of nintendos handhelds werent the powerhouses,  but thats a good thing in the handheld and even the  console,  remember nintendo did have the gamecube n64 and snes bei ng more poweful and only one ended up outselling the competition , the handhelds all 5 so far have outsold the competitor , ,

and ya im going to support nintendo for three big reasons , and these big reasons eat up any negatives you throw at it

1- cheaper

2 - awsome first party and 2nd party games , 

3 new ways to play , not being forced to do things i dont want -  and when 3rd party games do come its usually the good ones im interisted in anyway , 

                      you go ahead play your power , ,but at the end of the day that is

1-more expensive 

2 the only thing that changes is how much  further you can see things slightly improved ai , ---things of that nature - -wiiu does have some improvements and enough to keep me happy ,    to be honest ps3 still has life in it    graphics are not going to be that much better compared to ps2 era  to 360 ,,  mark my words

3 being forced to play online just for multiplayer instead of it being optional due to no splitscreen! g

All I'm seeing is "Blah..blah..blah....blah... Nintendo. Blah...blah...blah....blah... sheep." This thread isn't worth reading. Nintendo does what it wants to. When you have billions in the bank, you get to do that.

If it aint broken don't fix it.

Its a damn good idea to withhold. They crank out games, we like them and buy them, they crank out more, we like them and buy them. They see that we like those types of games, they crank out more. The world goes round.

Its really our fault for the most part if you think about it. Not that that's a problem.

No it is hypocritical to see gamers trash publishers like Activision for milking and rehashing their products then praise Nintendo for doing the same.

super600

Ninty's rehasing is different. They don't rehash the same concepts usually like activision does if you look at some of their franchises like cod and guitar hero.The only major franchises that somewhat rehash are pokemon and animal crossing.

Sure they don't beause every mario and zelda game doesn't involve mario or the fairy kid rescuing the same princess from the same bad guy. The concepts fell into rehash hell a long time ago buddy.

They were cheap and plastic. Gamecube was the best they ever did that compared to the rivals and gamecube fvcking flopped and sucked like hell. I bought a game cube and three games, metrioid prime, 007 from russia with love and LOTR rpg as something to do when my dad took my PS2 away but gave me a hundred dollars for clothes. I bought a used game cube, three games and a memory card for under a hundred dollars and had enough for a quiznos on my way home

You're right. Something something rehash. Something something TRUE GAMER, something something blood and maturity.

evidently gamers care more about the "same pattern" than anything on the ps3. :(

wasted_wisdom
HAHAHAHAH Funny you say that because 70 percent of Nintendo's market aren't gamers. That's something I can confidently say without having to provide much of a proof. Really that's how Nintendo makes their money. They exploit casuals. You think a true gamer will care about half the WiiU/Wii titles? The New Luigi game flopped like hell but it's still probably going to sell like bullets in a freaking Zombie apocalypse. GTFO lol

Provide proof, kid.
