How did you get out of your Nintendo Bubble /v/?
>>
tldr

by not being american

>>729001981
This problem started with James Rolfe pretending that Castlevania was this huge cultural phenomenon when in reality it took over twenty years for a game in the series to sell a million copies. SOTN flopped on release and only got popular due to word of mouth.

Why don't Sony Youtubers talk about their favorite PS2 games then?
>>
>>729002160
Presumably because they grew up. You don't see most 35 year old men making videos about the saturday morning cartoons they watched as 8 year olds either. It's a certain subset of manchildren that do that. Nintendo really attracts that certain type of autism that compels them to constantly advertise Nintendo and keep them in the public consciousness.
>>
>>729002160
>>729002226
What this anon said but he's not completely correct. They grew up, but in the sense that they want to create. Not just talk about it. So the fans are out there creating things that they love, instead of just talking about how great it was. It's why you see so many ps1/ps2 inspired games. Sure there are some n64 ones, but the vast majority are copying ps1/ps2. It's really that simple
>>
>>729002803
And to add to this, whenever a newer game comes out that's kind of janky but has soul and is fun, you see everyone online compare it to that of a ps1 or PS2 game. No one compares those games to a goddamn n64 game because let's be real, most n64 games were trash, not all mind you, but most.

If Croc was so good, why did Croc 2 sell like ass when Tooie still sold millions?
>>
>>729001981
croc >>>>>>>>>> banjo

>>729001981
I bought a Playstation and then a Dreamcast instead of a N64. Then I had both a Gamecube and PS2 and the superiority of the PS2 was obvious.
>>
>>729001981
That thing keeps being reposted but it's fucking retarded.
There are plenty of reasons for why Croc sold well, initially.
There are also plenty of reasons for why Croc's sales fell off a fucking cliff and why its sequel was an utter flop.

Comparing its sales to something like Banjo that not only also sold well, but did so to much greater acclaim than Croc ever did. And its sales did not fall off a cliff and its sequel still sold well. Unlike with Croc.

This. Only americans are obsessed with nintendo, just like how they have disneyadults, they refuse to grow up
>>
>>729002987
Because PS1 had other games and the N64 didn't
>>
>>729002160
Because the vast, vast majority of PS2 players were normies, anon. They never really cared that much about videogames and just asked for the most popular console (or the one with the ball and gun games) for christmas, and then moved on with their lives and forgot about videogames
Nintendo kids, on the other hand, tended to stay interested in the hobby, which is why they're the ones making videos nowadays

As popular as the PS2 was no one played anything on it but GTA, Gran Turismo and sports games

Not even 10% of PS2 owners played MGS or DMC

>>729003596
Because PS1 had shittier, jankier graphics that are much easier to recreate with currently available tools than stuff like Banjo or OoT

>>729003269
GameFAQs and the spinoffs were HEAVILY Nintendo centric and those formed a lot of the online video game discourse pre reddit. Those were the guys still playing Pokemon on their DS in college, when the Playstation and Xbox guys were making fun of them and Nintendo was uncool.

Nintendo was peak loser/nerd culture and it became popular in the modern era just like anime. Seeing Persona go from the laughing stock of video gaming along with Disgaea to one of the biggest franchises that even normalfags like is absolutely surreal.

But yeah, those nerds that grew up on GameFAQs were the ones that got into making gaming content on Youtube and Twtich early. That's why you had WoW players dominating the early Twitch scene and Nintendo fans dominating Youtube.
>>
>>729003612
Probably because there were more than 10 games to play. I don't expect most PS2 owners to have played Wild Arms 3, Radiata Stories, and 2nd Runner, but I don't blame normies for that. The ps2 library was so massive of course there would be diluted interest in games that we would consider good. It just so happened that normies liked it too, so of course if they buy it and play Madden and GTA en masse then that's no indicator that there wasn't a hardcore audience on the ps2. Gamecube had way fewer games to play, so of course its going to look more hardcore when comparing charts when everybody was playing the same 10-15 games because that's all they had.

PS2 had a huge library, such as:

Bro. Just look at the Madden sales on the N64.
They were nothing compared to what Madden sold on Playstation, and the sales were nothing compared to all the games that are actually famously associated with the N64.
To reference OP and his twitter garbage. If you add Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie together, they sold about as much as all 64 versions of Madden all put together. Just those two games versus all of Madden for the entire generation.

Whatever gave you the idea that the N64 had a sizeable portion of dudebros playing sports games?

The fact that a bunch of maddens were released on he system doesn't mean there were lots of people buying or playing them.
Again. You could compare it to the games actually famous for being on the N64 and you get games selling as much as all the Maddens on the system put together, on their own.

MGS3 didn't outsell Wind Waker, which was considered a flop. The original edition of DMC3 sold slightly more than Metroid Prime 2 and significantly less than Prime 1. This isn't remotely Mario or GTA territory. It's not even Zelda Twilight Princess territory.

The N64 was what you played at your friends house and you got 90% of the same experience doing that. If you rented an N64 and played OoT and Super Mario 64, you got the full experience. The N64 was only really good as a party machine, the Playstation was infinitely better for playing games by yourself.

It is some soulless failed mascot with a subpar game.

Of course you get fags who see something shit and go, "this is actually superior and you just oppressed it ytboy". These people can do nothing but corrupt and distort.

PS2 kiddies didnt play any videogames after they grew out of the console and went on to become normies, so of course they're not gonna be making videos about that. They probably don't even remember the games they played and regard them as a just a toy they had in their childhood/teenagehood

Reminder:
Tendies are INSANELY insecure. Nintendo's insistence on using 10 year old hardware and cultivating a kiddy image, combined with the lower price compared to other platforms, has made them into a joke, to both consumers and third party devs.
Tendies were relentlessly mocked and seen as lame fags during their formative high school years, leading to their massive inferiority complex.

PS2 catered to every niche and demographic imaginable, including the DVD player audience. It even had more mascot platformers than the Gamecube. It was likely your friends had a PS2, so you wanted one as well.

This doesn't change anything about how kino the best Gamecube games were, and how the best selling PS2 games were made obsolete by better iterations.

Funny how that is always missing in that comparison.

The real sticking point here isn't that PS1 and 2 games don't get videos, they do

It's that videos about nintendo games get VASTLY more views, and as such they get echoed endlessly by the algorithm
>>
>>729001981
They're somewhat correct, but 3 million is a lot of sales. Their standards of success are out of place; this was before the days of normalfag shit like Fortnite and GTA V.

The perception of the N64 and Gamecube as some kind of obscure total failure platforms that nobody owned or liked is only big in Europe, so I'm going to assume you're European.
Croc lacks charisma and fun factor compared to Banjo. Just because you disregarded every N64 exclusive on sight doesn't mean they're all inferior to their "equivalents".

here in italy back in the day playstation was essentially synonymous with videogames
i knew nintendo existed only because of the gameboy and pokemon
i ended up learning about the gamecube years after it came out thanks to ads in a magazine about pokemon gale of darkness
nobody i knew cared about mario or zelda
i had literally never even heard of the dreamcast until i got a pc, LOOOONG after sega went bankrupt
people really underestimate how little information circulated before the internet became mainstream. people played on playstation and they read playstation magazine and that's all they knew about
the saturn? WHO?

By not being in their bubble, even as a kid I played a lot of games for SEGA and Nintendo platforms, then Sony and Microsoft.

>Why don't Sony Youtubers talk about their favorite PS2 games then?
Most moved on, they're doing more productive things now, or still talk about videogames without resorting to brand autism. Similar to Pokémon, Sonic and My Little Pony IPs, like Anon said, Nintendo attracts a certain type of autism that compels them to constantly advertise Nintendo and keep them in the public consciousness. It's a very cult-like behavior.

>in other words
PlayStation (and Xbox) fans would be that kid who used to play Pokemon GSC on their GBC and watch the Ashnime daily, still have fond memories of that time (maybe still own the cart and some other licensed products), but grew up. Nintendo fans would be that kid who also used to play Pokemon GSC on their GBC and watch the Ashnime daily, and now posts Jigglypuff having an inflation on DeviantArt and posts about how much they want to fuck Vaporeon in the ass on /vp/.

Ding ding. Most people who bought a PS2 mostly to play DVDs or a 360 to play Halo 3 and Gears of War aren't obsessed enough with games to want to make content about them. It really is that simple.

this has to be the most retarded take of all time

nintendo are the most successful videogame devs/publishers or all time, the idea that it's a youtube conspiracy is completely braindead because even if you only take in consideration sales like the faggot in OP's pic then just go on wikipedia, check the "best selling videogames" page and realize that nintendo games are half of the top 50

I don't think reality reflects this if you actually look at indies in the genres Nintendo were most influential in. A good chunk of Indie platformers clearly take some inspiration from something Nintendo, for example, especially 3D Platformers. Often Mario 64.

Playing Expedition 33 immediately after being so fucking disappointed by Pokémon Legends Z-A was such a huge wakeup call for me, currently playing through Final Fantasy VI and will be checking out a shit ton of JRPGs that I've never given a chance to try.
I still have some appreciation for Nintendo (minus Furukawa), Kirby Air Riders was my GotY and MP4 Beyond is honestly on par with Echoes outside of the Hyrule Field ass desert. But my fucking lord, I'm never falling for one of GameFreak and The Pokémon Company's scams ever again.
