Has Nintendo ever actually won?

Like ever? I used to love them before the Wii era, but it seems like consistently they've been being pushed around by better game companies like Sony and Microsoft for decades. Whereas Playstation gets out exclusive after exclusive Nintendo almost gets nothing of value. Especially considering Nintendo's desperate recent attempts at releasing half assed games and ignoring fan demand with examples like any recent Paper Mario, Pokemon, or lazy "revivals" like Star Fox Zero.

Some of the most critically games of all time are on every console as well as PC except for Nintendo. For example Sekiro which won GOTY and is available on all of them except for Switch.

It doesn't exactly help that their fans are universally weird manchildren and soccer moms.

Nintendo has put out well regarded game recently like mario odyssey botw and nu fire emblem. They have their niche and make money so I doubt they're losing much sleep over anything

>It doesn't exactly help that their fans are universally weird manchildren and soccer moms.
Every console has this issue though.

Yes. They win every single handheld race. The only guys to come close was the PSP but it just happened to be competing with the greatest handheld of all time.

What the hell is with this retarded thread, sounds like a janny is inaccurately parroting shit I said in attempt to give me justice.

Biggest issue with Nintendo is the only reason they have exclusives is because they sell their consoles at a profit which means they have an incentive to hook in PC fats, whereas Sony and Microsoft sell at a loss, and so there's no incentive to hook in PC fats. If you mean partial/console exclusives then mayber. I don't think Nintendo is worse than Sony or Microsoft, just that they arren't THAT much better to warrant worship.

They won the Wii generation

What I dislike about the DS is that it only needed a drawpad, the dual screens cut its graphics/processing power in half, it's clear they were making it extra unnecessarily gimmicky so they could completely shut competitors out of the market by making a console nobody could imitate, thus securing a monopoly on handhelds.

>better game companies like Sony and Microsoft
...explain how they're better
do you really like getting cucked so hard?

This is the single most retarded post I've ever seen in my life.

He's probably going to say something about system sales and third party shovelware like Fifa or CoD

>Has Nintendo ever actually won?
NES era
SNES era
Wii era
Literally all their handhelds

Nintendo has won every gen so far except the ps2 one in terms sales and quality exclusives

>r/iamVERYsmart!

What's retarded about it? This place is so brainwashed they literally hate graphics and love useless gimmicks? Graphics aren't everything, but they are still important.

They didn't want to compete with apple/sony/microsoft so they made it gimmick incarnate because they didn't want to actually compete and wanted a gay monopoly on handhelds? That's the truth.

PSP was fine, the PSVITA basically competed with the PS3 which was a really stupid idea.

>it's clear they were making it extra unnecessarily gimmicky so they could completely shut competitors out of the market by making a console nobody could imitate, thus securing a monopoly on handhelds.
Re-read what you typed you mental midget.

You don't even know what a fucking monopoly is and you're saying that when it's competitor the PSP sold about 80m, then there's the fact that you think a second screen is some kind of delicate art when there's a hell of a lot of before the DS that have done the same.

You posted this yesterday retard and got blown out in the first few post.

Don't expect anyone to understand you here. It's all kids and outcasts who live trannymal crossing
I was a hardcore annoying Nintendo fanboy back in the nes and snes era. N64 was okay and I preferred the GC to it but after that they lost me. Will never forget the retards justifying buying those cards with nes games that you had to buy an attachment for the gba and the card itself
That company can go fuck itself

>Adding handhelds with consoles
Big cope

>Will never forget the retards justifying buying those cards with nes games that you had to buy an attachment for the gba and the card itself
The E-reader cards?
That no one bought?
Why even try lying about something like that OP.

Nintendo keeps winning

Where can I cop me that s*NY toboggan you're wearing

Nintendo has no competition among handhelds because Sony killed themselves trying to complete, but in terms of raw market share/sales/culteral impact then yes, the DS and the 3DS were absolute phenomenon's that still to this day drove a lot of profits and attention for Nintendo.

Why can't something as prolific as that be counted? Because nobody else releases handhelds anymore?

PSP was sold at either a loss or very little profit compared to the DS, they were trying to break into the Nintendo monopoly, I doubt they could have sold it for a profit. So 80m is equivalent to 20-40m sales?

>PSP was sold at either a loss
Which is some grade A bullshit. It was always sold at a profit, most systems are.
And again, that's not what a monopoly is.

Nintendo is a cult.

DAD I'M HUNGRY

>OP
Because only he can feel the same way. Most people who don't like Nintendo were hardcore fanboys back in the day, that as a common phrase twenty years ago
Plenty on Zig Forums bought them, and defended it ten tears ago

NES and SNES are two of the best consoles ever made, but other than that nah.

with handhelds it's not even a contest so it's barely worth bringing up.

Proof? We know most modern consoles besides Nintendo machines are sold at a loss, Sony is logically the one who'd have to sacrifice more to break into the handheld market as Nintendo is already established. Can't find anything saying whether the PSP was sold at a loss or a profit, to this day nobody knows whether the PS2 was sold at a loss or a profit.

>Plenty on Zig Forums bought them, and defended it ten tears ago
In 2010
Six years after it was discontinued west and one after japan.
And it was discontinued in the west before Zig Forums even existed

I'll ask again, why even try lying about something like that OP?

>We know most modern consoles besides Nintendo machines are sold at a loss
No, no they aren't. Only a few machines were actually sold at a loss with the PS3 being the biggest example.
Also there are hardware breakdowns of every system online.

>Also there are hardware breakdowns of every system online.
Why don't you link it then? A lot of people can make up estimates, it's not proof, sometimes this information in the past was kept secret so it could not be used by competitors.

>Plenty on Zig Forums bought them, and defended it ten tears ago
Literally no one on Zig Forums bought one and the common sentiment towards it was that it was a terrible idea that locked content to incredibly rare and expensive cards.
A similar complaint was made for Amiibo but unlike the Ereader they were easy to get around.
