Top 10 Reasons Why Nintendo is Better Than Sega

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Mario saved the video game industry

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

6. 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.

7. Nintendo has better spin-off games

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

8. Mario's games are always successful, while Sega often releases unfinished or derivative 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.

9. Nintendo has been around longer

10. 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.

The Newcomers

The Contenders

13. Nintendo offers better quality

14. Nintendo makes better games

15. Nintendo has sold more than 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.

16. Sega doesn't make consoles anymore

17. Nintendo has more experience in making games

18. Nintendo has better character development

19. 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.

20. 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.

21. Nintendo worked with Rareware

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

22. After Sega declined, they turned to Nintendo for support

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

23. Nintendo has more characters

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

24. 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.

25. No insufferable characters

26. Mario remains a successful and iconic character

    Mario Bros. is the best game character ever.

27. Nintendo has more games

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