It MIGHT be because of sheer content and how much gameplay time is offered.

Without DLC .... for 60 bucks ... you can play a COD for 100- 500 hours easily.

The sheer value of gameplay content is what makes online shooters so appealing.

So if your game is not an online mainly for its online component, stuff like MGS V, Fallout 4, The Witcher 3 offer so much game time that it makes other shorter games look like they are not worth the price.

Feels like a good balance between classic CoD style with good yet not overpowered boost jumping with a high percentage of vertical gameplay and maps with zero flow like Advance Warfare.

It was nice that Advance Warfare tried to do something different but imo it was actually too different and too chaotic with its movement being so overpowered in the meta.

Nairo, Esam, Vinny have the best shot.

Nairo did end the streak but can he start to beat zERo consistently is the question.

It's funny that some people try to downplay Smash 4's depth yet if it wasn't a easy to learn yet hard to master fighter ... no one should have been able to do what Zero did so consistently.

Clearly there is a skill gap between him and others which means the game allows for such a skill gap to be possible. <...

MGS3
Zelda Skyward Sword
The Last of Us

.... there are games with emotional scenes.

Could be because Call of Duty is actually done by three developers and the last good one according to the internet was by Treyarch.

This is the first game by them in three years.

Here are the three subseries under the Call of Duty name.

Modern Warfare/Ghost - by Infinite Ward (though the lead designers left)

Black Ops/World at War - Treyarch

Advance Warfare - Sledgehammer Games

They would make more money since their games would sell far more with the bigger userbases.

Wii U limits the sale potential of their games and nets Nintendo next to nothing in royalities since they don't have much 3rd party support.

If the royalties were so high as you seem to be implying .. then EA, Activistion and UBisoft (the only publishers in Nintendo's league sales wise) would create their own systems.

Know why they don't .....

If Mario 3D World was on PS4 and XB1 .. ti would have well over 10 million in sales already.

The limited user base limits potential sales.

See the sales of Mario Sunshine and 3D World on small user bases.

Then see Mario Galaxy, Mario 3D Land on bigger user bases.

As for competing against 3rd parties? Nintendo games did just fine vs third parties back during the SNES.

In fact they were the number 1 publisher...

Launch ... every single third party game on X-Box and Playstation also on NX and run either as well or even better.

WITH THAT ... then your exclusive games will matter.

Super Mario Universe
Metroid by Retro Studios
Zelda U upgraded version for NX

Amazing exclusives don't matter much to core gamers if you are missing 90-99% of every game from third parties.

What games sold the PS4 last year? GTA, CoD, Far ...

I agree. I don't know why Nintendo fans want Nintendo to have their own console.

Isn't the GAMES the only thing that matters?

Would they enjoy Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, Smash Bros, Zelda, Metroid any less on a playsation or xbox system?

If anything the games would look even better AND you would have access to all the third party games.

5 billion dollars in stocks is a HUGE deal.

I think there is zero chance that Zelda U is ONLY for Wii U.

It will get the Twilight Princess treatment.

AAA games cost a ton of money and on the Wii U ... sales potential is extremely limited for Nintendo.

I too believed they gave up on the Wii U the second that their E3 digital event finished and there wasn't a single big unannounced game shown on there.

They will ride out the Wii U with what they already had in deve...

I would think no matter how powerful a system is ... the developer might choose that extra power for even more graphic effects over framerate.

Remember ... there are some games that do run 60fps 1080p on ps3 but with simpler graphics.

It's a good formula. Last of Us had solid and pretty basic third person shooter / stealth gameplay with amazing story/writing.

Great list. Super Mario 3D World is my third favorite game this generation behind only The Wonderful 101 and Bloodborne overall so it is definitely my number one platformer.

Wii U definitely has a ton of quality and varied platformers.

Dreamcast was awesome as a gamer ... but it was indeed a commercial failure. Dreamcast were being sold for 99 dollars or less a year after release.

Sometimes whats great for gamers isn't great for business.

See the opposite situation with the Wii.
The Wii was monster commercially ... but the non HD graphics, lack of AAA third party support was a turn off for core gamers. Best selling Nintendo home console of all time ... yet good luck having game...

The Twin Towers had very BIG windows if I recall. It should be very bright and have tons of light since 9/11 happened in the morning after sunrise.

2014 - Donkey Kong Country TF, Mario Kart, Bayonetta, Smash Bros, Captain Toad

2015 - Kirby Rainbow Curse, Mario v Donkey Kong, Splatoon, Devil's Third, Fatal Frame, Xenoblade, Mario Maker

... basically about the same ... it just depends on which games/genres do you prefer.

This year they don't have the games you prefer and still have little to no third party support. And that is yet another reason having a ton of third party support...

I like a cinematic trailer ONLY when it's showing an unannounced game.

If it already know the game is coming and all it shows and is a non gameplay trailer ... that's disappointing.

That's because Nintendo the games publisher/developer is still amazing.

Nintendo the console maker ... is not.

They force censorship on third parties during the SNES
They ignored Capcom, Square and others request for CDs instead of expensive carts during the N64
They choose a smaller medium for the Gamecube as third party games started to require more and more memory
They choose to not go HD with the Wii
They choose to be u...
