They're shit (or way, way overhyped in the case of bloodborne).

Nintendo stuff (and PC) have always been the platforms where exclusives are ACTUALLY played in the real world.

>we

get the fuck out

The PS4 actually has more than 3 games available for it and the sales are spread out.
It also has a plethora of popular third party games which the WiiU lacks.
It's really not hard.

>beg for last guardian for 10 years
>sony caves in and funds it, releases it
>no one buys it

lol

>niche games sells less than popular games with actual marketing!

most ps and xbox users are fifa/call of duty players, who turn on the console once a month

Hmm.. that's weird, the WiiU seems to have more than 3 games too.

NSMBU sold 5.37m, SM3DW 4.6m, SMM 3.35m, Nintendo Land 4.43m..

Did TLG really sell that little? kek

>Take a decade to release a game
>Wonder why the hype died down

It's called cherrypicking

PS4 is a multiplat machine for normies obviously.

It's pretty much shit if you already have a PC. We have known this for some time already OP.

And Uncharted 4 sold over 8 million. You wanna have a dick waving competition or something?
The fact remains the PS4 has more games than the WiiU and you can't deny it.

Seems like OP picked the best games for both

Nintendo consoles have become a first party platform. Nintendo makes bank (much more than microsoft or sony's console/video game departments) after you do the math of being the console maker and publisher for most of that console's game sales.

>cherrypicking
>some of the best games on both platforms cant be compared

Try using your brain. One console is multiplat central for normies while the other one is a nintendo console without much third party support. You're only going to buy a wii u if you want to play nintendo games while you can buy a PS4 to play pretty much everything that comes out.

Uncharted 4 was bundled with a PS4 for nearly 200 bucks

That's like bragging about Wii Sports sales

same thing happened with Star fox zero

>PS4 owners only buy movies

Odd, isn't it called Playstation? Not .. Watchstation.

lol

because when you only have 12 games to pick from, yeah, everyone will buy the same

you can really twist and turn it any way you want but in the end wii u still failed

People buy PS4s to play COD and Fifa.

Wii U owners are mostly hardcore Nintendo fans who'll buy 1st party releases.

PS4 has a huge install base, but alot of casuals who buy it for sports games, FPS, AAA trash etc. BB and the like are niche games aimed at a niche audience that resides within the overall PS4 install base.

Also LG and RC didn't have a whole lot of hype or marketing.

Like the Vita people are more likely to own a Wii U because they want the games that are only on that console

Mario Kart is so high because it came bundled with the console

You were bragging about games that were bundled with the WiiU too, so I don't see how that affects the numbers of U4 copies sold.

now show us the stats for overwatch, fifa, cowadoody, battlefield, GTAV on PS4

those 3 games are pretty niche, I own a PS4 and only own TLG

>its a sony shilling episode

It's okay if Nintendo does it, you doofus.

OP get your pics right, MK8 has sold over 8M copies for a while now...

What do Sony fans even do? They apparently don't buy and play games like Bloodborne, Ratchet and Clank, The Last Guardian, Gravity Rush 2, Yakuza 0, Nioh.. all sold like shit.

People don't buy PS4s to play vidya, they buy them as "media" hubs to watch Netflix and Pornhub. Wii-U however is bought by people who just want to play vidya.

The only game bundled with the Wii U that was mentioned was Nintendo Land

Uncharted 4 is literally the ONLY PS4 exclusive to crack 5 million

The last Guardian released two months ago. Nearly a million sold games isn't that bad for that amount of time.
Ico sold only 700k copies from 2002 to 2009 and keep in mind that the PS2 sold much better than the PS4 so also the user base was much bigger.

The amount of dedicated Nintendo fans is higher than dedicated playstion fans. Most of the PS4's instal base is casuals

Yeah, but they totally fucked it up. Even if they fixed the controls the game was still only like 3 hours long and they charged full price.

Its fair to make that claim for splatoon and bloodborne, but mario kart is more popular than a niche title like TLG and has also been out longer. Its also incredibly unfair to compare smash to fucking ratchet and clank

Children are the majority of gamers
hence why children games are more popular

Consoles sold!= number of copies Uncharted 4 sold

So you are saying that we should compare games like Smash to FIFA, a multiplat?

Is that your argument?

Nintencucks dont have games to play so of course they all run out and buy the same game because there is no other alternative

Are you trapped in the 80s?

They all buy GTAV and CoD
They essentially switched places with the 360

nogaems isn't a meme

sony platforms have had nothing worth playing since the ps2 died

>Nintendo fans don't have games to play, so they go and buy all the games and play them
>Sony fans have so many games to play that they don't buy any games and don't play any

Sound logic

easy, nintendo has no games and ps4 has all multiplats

btw I have all the consoles + pc

Nintendo has fuck all games and the manchildren and children who buy their consoles only do so to buy the same limited set of games they keep rehashing over and over again.
Of course there are going to be more individual sales of certain video games on a console which has no real selection.

>Wii U is discontinued
>PS4 isn't

Really makes me think.

Someone in the thread already said. They play Fifa, CoD and Rocket League

>pick most popular wii U titles
>pick obscure ps4 releases like last guardian which even got a 20$ price drop 1-2 months after launch

Nice comparison cunt

There's more of pic related on the left than the sony equivalent on the right.

>pick obscure ps4 releases
>Bloodborne
>Rachet and Clank
>Obscure

Your chart is out of date. Probably for the PS4 too, but I'll leave that to some other user.

nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/sales/software/wiiu.html

that's the entire Wii U library worth playing and like 5% of the PS4 library worth playing

Literally every single game on that post was bundled at one point.

What did he mean by this?

People who buy PS4 only buy it to play Fifa and COD. Occasionally the third party games like Destiny. That's how you explain it. It's the same as it's always been.

Playstation has variety. When you have 5 games to choose from and all of them cost 60 bucks a pop, and you have a limited budget, you have to choose

Meanwhile nintencucks get one game a year so of course everyone is going to buy and play the same

Are you? Or did you never outgrow your diapers?

Well those are the only games on the Wii U so it makes sense people would have to buy them.

Look for sales for Uncharted, Call of Duty, Madden, NBA, etc.

>Playstation has variety.

How come Sony fans pick FIFA over Bloodborne, COD over TLG, Battlefield over Ratchet and Clank, Madden over Gravity Rush 2, Watch Dogs over Yakuza 0?

>Playstation has variety
>This is the new excuse for those big blockbuster exclusives not selling

you've now named the entire Wii U library

Compared to Mario kart and Smash it is, user.
Compare a situation with a thousand pebbles in one pile and a thousand in the other. One pile of pebbles has ten different individual colours making up the pile whereas the other has hundred different colours.
Which do you think would show greater selection bias towards a limited number of colours selected from an audience of a thousand people: those picking from the pile with ten colours or those picking from the pile of a hundred colours?

I mean that first party exclusives are a fucking meme and nobody that actually plays games gives a shit about how many copies they sell.
There are multiplats with more copies sold on the PS4 than total Wii U consoles sold. That's embarrassing.

And PC has way more variety than all of them, yet PC exclusives are still commonly played. Makes you think.

How come nintencucks pick mario kart over... Oh right it doesnt have anything else

Hm...
Bayonetta 2
DKCTF
WW HD and TP HD
Pikmin 3
W101
Pokken
Xenoblade
Yoshi's Wooly World
Paper Mario Color Splash


What did he mean by this?

Or maybe it shows no one cares about Playstation exclusives, and it's just a normie box GTA V and COD

>Minions 2 and Dirty grandpa made 80 million dollars, why do you like Neon Demon and Hacksaw ridge more?

Actually the WiiU had games like ZombiiU, Call of Duty, Mass Effect, Watch Dogs... which no one bought because Nintendo fans apparently buy good games over bad ones. While Sony fans do the exact opposite.

Really odd, fires up my neurons.

nintendo only has their select brand recognition titles going for them.
would be better for business if they went 3rd party instead of sticking to their proprietary broken shit specs gimmick consoles

People buy Xbox and Playstation to play video games while people buy Nintendo for Mario and Zelda. Go figure, user.

Or maybe you're an incredibly dishonest fanboy. Going with the latter seems more reasonable.

>People buy Xbox and Playstation to play video games
They do? How come they don't buy any then?

It has more to do with how those games arent played on nintendo platforms because it isnt viable, for one thing people arent going to leave their friends just to play the same game on another platform

...

Now show me how much Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101 and FE# sold, aka the only good Wii U games

If the WiiU had the latest CoD and Fifa, those would be its best sellers too.

I'm assuming the idea was to compare games that would be worth playing between the two. PS4 hasn't had much going for it up until the last few months to be able to have a good list of three games. Comparing games that just came out to ones that have been out over a year would also be unfair. Even The Last Guardian is an unfair comparison since it has still only been a few months.

>How come they don't buy any then?

Where's your proof?

>FE# is good

Bayonetta 2 actually has around 800k-1 mil sales last time I checked

>People buy Xbox and Playstation to play video games while people buy Nintendo for Mario and Zelda.
>Uncharted is a game, Mario isn't

Nintendo's target audience is children
>No mature titles
>No voice chat
>Video games feature wacky characters, gameplay minimalist with no real actual challenge or difficult

PERFECT FOR CHILDREN!!!

Wii U has a small library of worthwhile games (practically zero multiplats). Also, the Wii U had massive droughts in between game releases. Makes it easy to buy the entire worthwhile library.

PS4 is a multiplat machine for dudebros/normies that don't own a gaming PC. They don't really care that much about playing exclusives.

Yeah I hate games that have gameplay and wacky fantasy characters. I want all of my games to be cinematic with a ~40 year old gruffy dude and some young companion with very realistic graphics.

>No mature titles

Bayonetta 1 and 2, Zombie U.

>No voice chat

Honestly after playing that shitty For Honor Beta, I don't mind them not having it. Good god listening to you retards was horrible.

>Feature wacky characters

Better than generic humans doing QTEs. Perfect for man children such as yourself.

more or less this. Ninfriends never seem to grasp just how important sports titles are to consoles in general. Sure you can hate on them all you want but they like mad on an annual basis and can make or break a console.

Sports games.

It's that simple.

There's a huge chunk of people who buy a PS4/XBone purely to play Madden and FIFA.

I don't get this unprovoked aggression from nintencucks... You guys do realize no matter how you twist and turn about it that the wii u is a failure and discontinued while the PS4 is not?

It's also great that I dont need games to sell 20 billion for me to enjoy it.

One last thing is that digital downloads is non-existant on nintendo platforms, whereas sony games are 50/50 bought in stores and downloaded, so really if you divide 2.6 million with 50% you get at least 5 million copies sold in total. Stop being so disingenuous about only showing physical copies. If we all did that then PC has 0 sales.

Btw bloodborne is at 3 million now physical

>whereas sony games are 50/50 bought in stores and downloaded

I think the point is that people who buy a PS4 don't actually buy it to play good games.

If they did, then titles such as Bloodborne, R&T, TLG, Gravity Rush 2 etc. would sell better.

They buy it to play FIFA, COD, Madden, GTA and Skyrim and use it as a netflix machine.

So yes, the PS4 is a success, but its playerbase is the cancer killing video games.

>PS4
>dudebro shooters
>sports
>niche hardcore
>AAA multiplats
>cinematic experience
>JRPG & weebshit
>RPG
>Indie
>etc.

>WiiU
>Mario
>Zelda
>babby and manchildren games

...and that's why WiiU died like a bitch in a ditch. Everyone past 10 years old is no longer interested in PING PING WAHOO! or rehashes of outdated franchises like Zelda which are inferior to modern games (even Skyrim/TW3 > BOTW).

>If they did, then titles such as Bloodborne, R&T, TLG, Gravity Rush 2 etc. would sell better.

It does for the reason I just stated

>So yes, the PS4 is a success, but its playerbase is the cancer killing video games.

seems like you just have a black and white narrative here. Not interested

>Skyrim over BotW

When your shitposting goes too far and your blind hatred makes you go full retard

There's nothing else to buy on the Wii U. If you get a Wii U what else are you gonna buy?

On PS4 on the other hand...

You know it's 2017 right? People buy games on the online store on consoles these days. It varies from game to game, from around 40% digitally to up to 80-90%

You're a lying asshole if you try to spin physical copies sold in gamestop as the only units ever sold

fucking hell

>Games don't sell
>T-the PS4 is selling! That's all that matters! Sales are important that means we have more people playing our games, even if they don't buy them!

>padding out your list with meme terms that don't mean anything like "niche hardcore"
Sonyggers everyone
