Definitely has a lot of small titles. But those don't sell consoles. Late 2014 and 2015 will be when things start to get interesting for the PS4.
Sony deserves big success. I was not a fan of the PS3 at all. I had one to play the major exclusives, but I never played 3rd party games on it, and I dreaded that updates every time I turned it on. This time around, they fixed their attitude, addressed the hardware annoyances, and came in at a great price point. They are simply doing everything right. Objectively, there's no good reason why the PS4 shouldn't be the the top platform in every region.
It's lame that Super Mario 3D World is being outsold by Knack, but we all know that Europe has terrible taste, so whatever.

Nah, it's normal. Legs go, sometimes they do a weird cross legged drop and spring up and down before finally dropping.

The stupid thing was they could have released it on the same day as the UK version which would have been 1 week earlier then the PS3 release in the UK. Stupid Nintendo.
This dude is nuts. It was NOT a fucking masterpeice. It was an above average experience but truly had flaws. I'm becoming very concerened with the gaming community in SOME cases. I feel like they want to out of habit rate this Mario game high because... Mario. The Galaxy titles were MUCH better than this, yet I feel people are trying to imply the opposite in some reviews. Many people are coming out of the woodworks down playing the Galaxy titles.
The problem has nothing to do with Knack and whether its a shit game or not, and everything to do with how people view the Mario brand.
I love that the PS4 is at such a wonderful start but if Nintendo gets pushed anymore into a corner its going to reduce the Nintendo only fanbase to this:
The problem has to do with how people view the Wii U. It's not absurd to claim that the latest mario game is better than Knack by a wide margin. But Knack sold more because the PS4 sold more.

I love that they are actually running past Xbones.
Is he really complaining that the public's bought a game that they rated 4/10 versus one they rated 10/10? Sure they blame Nintendo, but they're basically complaining because of the sales chart.

Played it a bunch yesterday. I thought it was way, way too easy. Mario games should be easy to pick up, but you should always get a feeling of accomplishment when you feel like you've mastered some skills. This game feels like no challenge at all.
As a result, I felt more like I was playing through to see the next cute thing happen, or to see the next sparkly thing, rather than wanting to play just because it felt so damn fun to play.

those were put there for the gif, hilarious nonetheless, very well made and a contender for gif of the year against like 50 Banderas gifs
I don't like the Galaxy titles at all. I think Mario 3DWorld is the best Mario I've played since SNES.
Opinions.
Also, Mario not selling has nothing to do with Mario and everything to do with the Wii U. How much has 3Dland sold?
3d world starts off very unimpressive. i was thinking 'here we go again'- i figured it was the same ol' same ol' from ead tokyo after 3d land.
where it ends up is pretty amazing. i think the shift happens for most people around world 3, but for me it happened around world 4. it's a long time to ease someone into something, but the game just keeps on ramping the difficulty up to a pretty great finale.
We need to wrap up the year with a GIF of the year thread.
Does it feel more like the Mario 2D titles in gameplay? That's one thing I never liked about 3D Mario's, they always felt more like adventure games rather than hardcore platformers.

agree with you. something about me sitting in weird ways the controller not being layed out statically and the camera making the controls change galaxy always pisses me off.
3dw is a blast. great with friends too

Knack is 1080p so of course in 2013 it's all of a sudden better than Mario to lots of people.

3d land and world are basically the 2d games in 3d. Very little "adventuring".
It's his (or their) opinion. No need to get worked up about it.
Here you go:
3D World > Galaxy
Gonna call me a nutjob too?
Yes, exactly. I hate 3D mario games. This is a 3D mario for people who liked the 2D games.
Great result for PS4.
It's probably already the best selling next gen console in Europe in LTD numbers with just two days on the market :O And demand is clearly much higher than supply, they could have done much better.
Nintendo has really failed hard with the Wii U, Mario 3D has already proved not to be a system seller at all in Japan and now Europe, I don't think the US will be much different. And they bet on the title to sell 9m consoles for the fiscal year....I think that Nintendo is going to pull the plug next year on first party development and focus on what's next (probably the successor to the 3DS which can be used as a home console as well).

Holy crap. Reminds me of the black friday walmart videos floating around. I'll bide my time, or shop online. I won't ever lose my dignity like that just to be first, or to get a shitty brand of tv. Ugh.
Oh, and grats to Sony. I expected it to do well, but those numbers are extremely impressive. Good stuff.
That's hilarious!! I like how there are actually Xbones sitting there as people run by. Lol.

Don't know if it's old.
LMAOO!!
Fuuuuuuck, I may need to get a Wii U...
Also I have a 3DS on the way, so I should probably get 3D Land as well.

Andrew House in France: "Due to high demand, we expect to sell 5 million PS4 by March 2014"

If he said it, its cause Sony can supply that many units.... This is insane.

Titanfall has been publicly announced for XBONE, 360, and pc only. There will not be a PS4 version. But according to Vince Zampalla Titanfall 2 will be on PS4.
If they can supply it they will sell more. I'm guessing 6 million by the end of march.

The great thing about this gif is how subtle it is. You could probably convince a lot of people there's nothing edited or photoshopped in at all.
I get the feeling Titanfall 2 will come out in record time after the first one.
Adventure games? The only 3d Marios that really fit that descriptor are 64 and Sunshine and even there it's a bit of a stretch. That's more appropriate as a description for Tearaway, if anything.

As people have stated earlier, Mario is supposed to be THE system seller. The console had NSMBU at launch and now they have a 3D Mario to go with that and it still isn't moving systems.
I personally don't think Mario is a system seller anymore (Mario Kart maybe...). Even during the previous gen, I think the system sellers for the Wii were Wii Sports, Wii Fit, and Mario Kart. NSMB, the Galaxy games, and Nintendo's other tent pole titles simply benefited from being the most recognizable properties on this system that was selling mad volumes.
If Mario Kart ends up being a system seller again, you'll likely see the Nintendo evergreen effect go into play for their other franchise titles but if it isn't, the Wii U will likely be dead. None of their other franchises will move units to people that aren't already Nintendo fans.

actually crying I'm laughing so hard... goddamnit lol
Bad Company is a MUCH simpler set of games than Battlefield 3 & 4. And Battlefield 3 is a much better game than both Bad Companies on a mechanical level. Battlefield 4 is too, when it works properly. So, you should probably pick a better example.
