Top Ten Reasons Why Nintendo is Better Than Sega

The Top Ten
Nintendo owns some of the best selling video game franchises

Besides the Super Mario series, Nintendo created The Legend of Zelda series, Pokémon series, Super Smash Bros. series, Metroid series, Star Fox series, Donkey Kong series, Kirby series, and many others. What relevant franchises did Sega make besides Sonic?

Yeah, but there are good games on any console. Just because they are not well-known doesn't mean they are bad. I have never played a Sega game in my life, but I understand this.

Nintendo absolutely has the best first-party software of any video game company. No doubt about it.

Nintendo has better consoles

Yes! Nintendo puts great, original ideas into each of their consoles. Xbox has no original ideas. PlayStation had a couple, like dual analog, but Nintendo is the king of innovation.

Nintendo has great consoles! Sega had some good consoles too, don't get me wrong.

The Super Nintendo, GameCube, Nintendo 64, Wii, and Wii U are all better than Sega's consoles.

Nintendo has better characters

So many good characters: Mario, Peach, Luigi, Bowser, Toad, Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, and Kirby, just to name a few. I know loads of Nintendo characters, but I don't know many Sega characters - Sonic, Amy Rose, Tails, Dr. Eggman, Ryo.

Because of one character, Nintendo had the idea to create a whole bunch of different characters. Because of that, I have many favorite characters, and my favorite is Rosalina!

I actually know who the Nintendo characters are, for one, whereas I only know a few SEGA characters.

Nintendo has a better mascot

Mario is the king of video games, while Sonic the Hedgehog has sadly been dragged through the mud over the years.

Mario saved the video game industry when Sonic started a console war.

Mario saved the video game industry

I'm surprised Mario accomplished such a task. That's why I like Nintendo a lot! Go Mario!

Nintendo is a better company

Yep, Nintendo is better than Sega, hands down!

Sega doesn't make half the money Nintendo makes.

They do make more money, in all fairness.

Nintendo has better spin-off games

Okay, fine, Shadow the Hedgehog was pretty awful, but this is one of the only good reasons.

Mario's games are always successful while Sega can make unfinished and ripped-off games

The Mario Kart series has done very well and sold over 100 million copies worldwide, while Sonic's racing games like Sonic R and All-Stars Racing Transformed have barely reached 10 million. Sorry, Sonic, looks like you're too slow now.

Nintendo's been around longer

The Newcomers

The Contenders
Nintendo makes better games
Sega made insulting commercials towards Nintendo

In one commercial, they say that Nintendo makes teenagers helpless and Sega saved them. Like, what?

Actually, Sega makes teenagers helpless, while Nintendo saves them. The Genesis commercial is stupid too.

Nintendo has sold more then Sega

Dude, I'm pretty sure there are more copies of every Super Smash Bros. game than there are people on this Earth. Nintendo is worldwide!

20 million is laughed at by Nintendo. Wii Sports alone sold 82 million units.

Sega doesn't make consoles anymore
Nintendo has better experience at making games
Sega fans are annoying

Yeah, they really are. I'm a Sega fan, but most of the other Sega fans I know are annoying! Call of Duty fanboys are still much more annoying in my opinion, though!

That's true. They don't know how to act mature.

Sega would be dead without Sonic

If Mr. Mario died, Nintendo would be fine because they still have Zelda, Pokémon, Kirby, Metroid, and much more. If Sonic died, Sega would go bankrupt in about five seconds.

If Mario died, Zelda could keep them on life support. Pokémon too. The point is that Nintendo is a lot more stable than Sega.

This is so true because Sega never really even tries on a game that doesn't have "Sonic" in it.

Nintendo worked with Rareware

Sega only made one game with Rare. Nintendo, on the other hand, made tons of great games with Rare.

After Sega went down hill, they went begging to Nintendo

WRONG! Sega begged Nintendo to put Sonic on their consoles. That's a fact. Nintendo didn't beg for anything!

Nintendo has more characters

They have many characters like Link, Mario, Kirby, etc.

Sonic's creator left him

Yeah, Sonic's creator left him, and I don't think he's making Sonic games anymore. He probably left Sega because he knew Sonic 2006 would be a big failure. Ouch. Sorry, Sonic.

No insufferable characters
Mario is still good

Mario Bros. is the best game character ever.

Nintendo has better character development
Nintendo has more games

Yeah? Name one Sega game that isn't Sonic. I dare you.
