Didn't the Wii outsell the PS3 and 360 too?
>>
>>741643197
You would think it didn't with how little anyone cares about the wii and how few games it has that are worth playing.

Name a single Nintendo game worth playing

Overall, yes. The Wii was crazy popular when it first came out due to casuals and normies, and forced Microsoft and Sony to try and come out with their own motion controls. However, by the end of the 2000s, the Wii began to lose momentum, as those same casuals and normies only really bought the system just to play Wii Sports and not much else.

Fell off the fucking cliff you mean.

It adds on to the home ports with new weapons and modes

Switch isn't the same market as Playstation. It's a handheld. Every Sony console has beaten every Nintendo console other than the Wii
>>
>>741644089
Raw sales numbers doesn't tell the whole story. PS3 had such a massive turn around it resulted in the PS4, Wii had such a fall off it resulted in the Wii U. Even the 3DS was considered a disaster until just before the switch came out.

But if we DON'T count the winner then Sony won!

switch 1 literally had the most sales. switch 2 is in a trajectory to sell the most.

cope & seethe lol

>Even the 3DS was considered a disaster until just before the switch came out.
The 3DS had OoT 3D, SM3DL and MK7 by the end of 2011. The "disaster" of its launch window was so short lived it was over by time the Vita came out.
>>
>>741644483
The picture is still accurate.
Despite being objectively weaker than the competition, it has no competition. "Nintendo wins without doing anything" kind of situation.
>>
>>741644248
>he 3DS was considered a disaster until just before the switch came out.
The 3DS was the lifeline that kept Nintendo alive during the WiiU (2012-2017).

Did we get last month's circana yet?

Nintendo did not win in any of the generation.
The competition destroyed themselves twice.

Are we pretending the WiiU never happened?

that's normal for switchfags

Because the Switch Lite was $150 you fucking retard

>>741649413
The Switch has been alive for almost 10 years, the people that post here weren't alive during the WiiU era.

*In America
Was doing just fine in Europe.
Also, what does this have to do with my previous post?

>>741643197
yet no one has fond memories of playing the wii u over the ps3 or even the xbox 360. crazy huh
>>
>>741650698
Almost everyone that played Wii Sports remember it fondly, even your mom and grandma, kid.
>>
>>741642116
Nintendo also won during the 7th gen but for some reason the mainstream gaming journalist faggots don't want to count Nintendo even though its supposed to be a three-way console war going on. They act like Nintendo is a complete non-factor. Its very baffling. Nintendo has more wins in the last two decades than Sony and Microsoft do. In fact Microsoft never won anything. They only consume and force their will like a parasite.
>>
>>741642116
It has three games, which is more than the rest of the current gen consoles.
>>
>>741650797
>son, remember when you played that game where you swung your remote for 2 hours and then never touched it again
wow such fond memories

Yup Nintendo effectively won there too by being different, distinct and targeting a new audience.
>>
>>741650818
It's because the Wii fell off like a rock after 2010. The 360 did too but not as badly, while the PS3 was still going strong well into 2013.
>>
>>741650873
>It has three games
On switch 1, 2 or both?
>>
>>741651098
Yeah, father and son played together.

I know that is strange to (You)
>>
>>741642116
Winning the number of sales is not that important, if it was, all consoles would be a fucking failure, because the iphone sells that in one year.
What actually matters is getting the biggest profit as you can, and nintendo is probably doing well on that.
Of course AI shit is eating into everyone's profit and nintendo should call their yakuza friends to deal with sam altman so the profit number could go up.
>>
>>741650818
Journos started treating PS3&360 like one console midway through the gen and championing multiplats to pretend the Wii & DS releases were less significant.
>>
>>741651478
what happened is the father beat the son after the son asked for a ps3 after he already bought him a wii

Nothing worth bragging about desu, Xbox is dead and Playstation is a fucking joke.

>>741651287
That isn't why at all anon. Its because of the perception and culture at the time. Back then before the Wii even really came out I remember seeing articles and talks about how Nintendo should just sell the company outright. Back then during that Wii/360/PS3 gen there was also a huge anti-Japanese games sentiment in the culture. This was when CoD became the juggernaut it still is today and the age of the dudebro shooter. Nintendo found their own niche being a family friendly console with a motion control waggling gimmick. This is ultimately why they won that gen. To date its the only gen where all competitors sold well relative to the competition with none being in any sort of enormous lead over the competition. Although you could argue that the 360 might have sold even more because of RROD even though MS wisely also realized they had no choice but to fix their fuck up for free of charge. But I can assure you many initially went out to buy a new Xbox before they came up with a free fix if you send it in.
>>741651559
Another reason I think is because of the audience that was attracted to PS3/360 vs the Wii and also because the Wii was not an HD console like the other two. It was very different but the thing is this wasn't even anything new. Prior gens had consoles with plenty of differences but they still counted as part of the gen/era they were in. Ultimately it can be summed up with:

>in short
Journos are absolute fucking faggots with shit opinions. Their word is not always the ultimate truth.
>>
>>741652153
Interesting projection.
>>
>>741642116
Kinda hard for it to not be winning when Switch 2 is literally the only current gen device out right now.
>>
Nintendomination!
>>
>>741642116
So I thought the problem with the Steam Machine is that it's underpowered, but somehow the Switch 2 is better?
I thought the problem is that the Steam Machine is too expensive, but somehow PS5 is better?
I thought the problem with Switch 2 and PS5 are that neither of them have any games, but somehow they're both better?
>>
>>741650818
Probably cause every relevant game from that generation was on PS3/360 and no one remembers wii wagglin shovelware slop
>>
>>741643197
Yes, but it gets spun as PS3's victory after it just barely outsold 360 at the end of its life. People just hate Nintendo.
>>
Is it me or are switch games riddled with AI art even on their covers? I got a switch recently and I am checking rom websites and "recent games" sections look full of literal who games that looks AI generated. I assumed switch games were more curated
>>
>>741663705
people also meme on the 360 rrod but barely ever remember the ps3 having issues just as bad, because both were caused by dogshit soldering from tsmc
>>
>>741663920
It's everywhere, same thing happens on Xbox/Steam/PS.

However I only have seen them on the main page on PS.
>>
>>741663920
its the same everywhere, its the cost of allowing true hidden gems from solodevs
that said, curating is the job of reviewers and ecelebs, platforms should only really take out malware etc
>>
>>741642116
>tendies are cultlike retards who will consoom
Yes

>>741665884
wii u?
>>
>>741650698
I have very fond memories of games like the Mario Galaxy ones anon. They are among my favourite games ever.
Also, the Wii is the only console I have ever played on with friends and family IRL. Having the lads come over for an afternoon of LAN CS:Source and ending it with some mario kart wii or just dance was absolutely kino. Among my most cherished gaming-related memories.
>>
>>741663920
All games have AI content now anon. Even if it is not art, I can guarantee you that a ton of the coding is being done with AI. Companies have been pushing employees to use AI as much as possible for a couple years. Some even have token leaderboards.
