Oh come on, it was a joke.
And where is the evidence to this fact? The wiki list you provided doesn't even agree with this statement.
You're trying awful hard to attempt to discount the Wii's software while celebrating the PS4's. The former is in no way a threat to the latter unless trending comparatively lower (latter vs. former) is somehow a "threat" and not simply "market realities".
Well my evidence is you said 600 million and said third party was huge, when in fact that Wiki I showed says other wise. My initial post was about Nintendo made games, first party and exclusives.
The Wiki I showed the most popularly sold. Games that should be up there in sales like Punchout, sin and punishment, Metroid are not even in the top. But games like Most of the mario games and spin off's are.
There were a lot more exclusives that should be up there, but just like Wii U the ones that are the top sold are Mario kART, Wii sports and smash.
Which is Nintendo's issue, they let the third party games like Deca sports, Michael Jackson experience pad and fill their roster through out the later years of the Wii. And that list is for games that have hit 1 Million or more in sales. What about the 100's of 19.99 shovel ware games? I mean according to VG chartz there's close to 100,000 copies of Ninja Bread man.
Imagine 100's of 19.99 titles like carnival games doing 100,000 or more, it all add's up.
That's where I was getting my information from. That Nintendo has a hard time selling outside of their own legacy IP games. Wii sports and the likes were high because of the console, they were the reason casuals to get the system.
Then they bought mario kart, and maybe New super mario bros or galaxy, but nothing more than that after 2009-2010 the rest were buying these 19.99 games. After people stopped drinking the hype Kool-aid for the Wii, like the Ipad. They saw that unless you were into buying Nintendo First party which by that time was slowing down, you had no use to keep, or support the console.
That hurt's your image as a console maker and is one Nintendo still hasn't learned from. Hopefully they have more studios and are committed to supporting this new console with frsh games in a timely manner.
Because the Casual market is gone, so you need core people who play video games or are interested in them to buy your console. And I think even with this the game industry is healthy, so for Nintendo to succeed they need third party exclusives, exclusive made indie, new ad-agency, better online, and for having all of this need good hardware. They need to promote games that could take off like Rocket league did, and splatoon.
They need to talk to the western part of their company and make decisions that will affect other regions outside of Japan.
WW is the reason Sony is doing so well. Their console is not region specific like most of xbox's has been for US/UK.
