@basketballfan: Technically, even 720p is considered HD. They used to call 1080p "Full HD". Majority of X360/PS3 games were 720p and occasionally upscaled to 1080p.
@hardwenzen: Their games are still amazing and win GOTY. Also, I can't name any Nintendo games that have microtransactions. When was the last time an EA game won GOTY? Mass Effect 2?
@ronaldmcreagan: I'm still waiting for a port of WW/TP from the Wii U. That and Xenoblade Chronicles X are basically the only Wii U games that still need Switch ports.
@zmanbarzel: Exactly. The same reason why GTAV is never on sale. In fact, I've still never seen it for less than $20 ever, because somehow it charts on PSN/XBL every single goddamn month. And it didn't drop below $30 until like a couple years ago which is insane for a 2013/2014 game.
@onesiphorus: Alanah Pierce has a great video about how little impact reviews have on sales and how publishers generally don't care (a few exceptions exist) what the reviewers give their games. Reviewers are often more afraid of public backlash than that of the publishers. She throws a wrench in the whole "looks like that Sony/MS/Nintendo check cleared!" nonsense, despite saying she could have easily said the opposite and had all the internet call her a hero for finally saying it.
