Just examples that they seem to be unfortunate with getting amazing devs to make a exclusive game for them and still not getting a amazing game out of it. Even the game they got from Insomniac didn’t move the needle much

while the metacritic score are similar anyone would be able to look at those 2 lists and tell which is more likely to sell consoles. No company is above having a flop EVER, Playstation and Nintendo have had some rare flops but thier track record is so good those are as seen as duds rather then the norm to be expected.

specific type of games and genres always will be choosen over other ones? Why are fighting games, simulation games, strategy games etc. almost never or never nominated

Smash Bros Ultimate was nominated in 2019

Yeah it’s like there is always something wrong. Either game is unoptimized with poor technical performance, it’s in a niche genre, isn’t AAA, or is just bad

They need a big AAA game that is very good, comparable to Elden Ring Zelda and God of War, that also works properly day 1 on launch and runs well with 30/60fps mode and good graphics day 1 on launch

tbf your logic doesnt work here since a PS5 console is Required to use the Portal, so the cost would be more like 600-700$
