Haha so true.

Although looking at all the game announcements last week it felt like a lot of them were the same game, so a similar situation these days I think.

OK, but let's be real, Nintendo isn't competing on the strength of their hardware, its that they (used to) have IPs that slap. If I had a choice to play a 3rd party game on a Nintendo console or PC, I'm picking PC.

Nowadays, I am not a Nintendo fan. I don't like their practices and either the IPs aren't as good anymore or maybe I've aged out of the demographic, so I don't really have a horse in the fight. But the point is, if you're gaming on a Nintendo console, its probably because you're playing a Nintendo IP.

Better than Skyrim, Skyrim, Skyrim but it's the same as Skyrim, and Skyrim

I mean, they are different games with different mechanics.

Mario Tennis and Super Mario Bros are less similar to one another than Call of Duty and Battlefield, despite them being from the same publisher and having the same characters.
