Yeah, but this is just an ordinary year for Nintendo. But because they are publishing Bravely Default (out this year in EU, out in NA in February), they completely deserve it.

Not even a contest. They had a ridiculous amount of games out, and they were almost all great.

A Link Between Worlds was all I needed to see. The fact that such an enjoyable sequel was made 20 years later, executed so well while paying homage to the original is proof enough for me. Nintendo will some day again be a juggernaut... they need a new vision with embracing some of the industry changes of late, but I believe they will... I miss the days where Nintendo was god and everything else was playing catch up, and no I don't mean with the Wii :P

I disagree with the list. Sony should have won publisher of the year. Much more higher quality games than Nintendo.

The Last of Us

Beyond Two Souls

Killzone Shadow Fall

Puppeteer

Killzone Mercenary

Ratchet and Clank Into the Nexus

Knack

Gran Turismo 6

Jak and Daxter trilogy(PSV)

Sly Cooper 4

Tearaway

Rain

The Unfinished Swan

MLB 13 The show

and probably a bunch of indie games I am forgetting. There is several others like resogun or whatever.

SONY WINS!

Yea I agree with this. I'd go with Nintendo, but mostly all on those listed are just the same old IPs and remakes. Sony has a much more exciting and diverse library with titles such as TLoU, Beyond Two Souls, Puppeteer, Knack, Tearaway, and Resogun.

It's humorous to me that everyone says Sony is nearly broke and Nintendo is sitting on a mountain of cash with no debt, yet Sony is the one that is really attempting to experiment and gamble with money they don't really have, investing a lot into AAA IPs while Nintendo is so reluctant to. Yet they are voted best publisher and given the credit.

Seems like a double standard to me.

If Nintendo actually took some risks past one or two games, I'd give them the nod instead.

But half of those games aren't even that great.

I'd take a bunch of old IPs that delivered vs. a bunch of hit and miss stuff and the odd excellent title (The Last of Us).

I couldn't possibly disagree more. I'd take a company be willing to attempt new stuff, even if some of it will be hit or miss than one that puts out old, stale properties, even if they were guaranteed to be excellent. Any day of the week.

Even if the company making new IPs puts out 2 excellent games to the other company's 7?

More than half that list isn't worth playing. I want good games, I don't care if they come from an old or new IP. A bad game is a bad game. No amount of originality will change that.

No, it will transcend it when executed right.

Like and dislike is besides the point, that's a subjective issue and not a valid grounds to defend unoriginality. It doesn't change the fact that one company attempts risks more than the other, even more admirable on Sony's part considering their financial situation compared to Nintendo's. I much more admire someone who tries new things with the potential for failure than one who doesn't and succeeds.

Taking more risks doesn't matter when most of what you put out a poor man's attempt at a genre.

I don't see anywhere where it's written that that's guaranteed to the point where an effort shouldn't even be made, and again, it's all subjective. I find mostly all the Sony games I mentioned to be enjoyable and not "poor man's" attempts.

Nothing is guaranteed to be excellent, though. If anything, making a great game with an old IP is harder. It is almost never done outside of Nintendo.

Well, out of that list, I'd probably only single out Killzone, Knack, and Ratchet, though the latter is more Insomniac's fault than anything else.

Still, it's not like Nintendo doesn't throw new ideas into old franchises. Super Mario 3D World has a load of new ideas, and the IP is 30 years old. That's damn hard to do.

Well, them, Square, Konami, Capcom (maybe, I'm thinking Street Fighter and RE, though we should exclude 6), and Blizzard. It's almost never done in the West, though, which is odd, given our proclivity to big-budget titles.

Well, I suppose it all on what you value. I like originality and believe it should be rewarded more than leaning upon long established properties. Plus I respect Sony, as I said (and no one seems to have acknowledged), they are being more ballsy than Nintendo is when they themselves risk more to lose.

They are ballsier, I'll give them that, and they are one of the best publishers in the industry when it comes to funding new IPs.

I just wish they had better first party studios.

I was just saying that it is far more common for an IP that gets put out as many times as Nintendo uses theirs to turn worse than jt is for it to stay good. Just look at Sonic, Final Fantasy, Tomb Raider (prior to the reboot), Call of Duty, Ninja Gaiden, Halo, Crysis, Medal of Honor, etc. Nintendo IPs usually get better with newer installments, which is actually pretty rare.

Truth. I can't think of another publisher that does it as well. Well, I think Final Fantasy counts for Square, but it's a different beast.

Jak and Daxter Trilogy and The Unfinished Swan need removed from that list. HD remakes don't count and The Unfinished Swan released in 2012, not 2013.

Nintendo is a shit publisher because all they do is jerk off the same old franchises over and over and over again. And really they do publish a few new games, but those games are never made by Nintendo so they don't deserve any credit. Like wonderful 101 is a good game, but Nintendo deserves no credit for it because they had nothing to do with it being a good game.

But really sony is a better publisher because they at least publish new games that vary from genre to genre and age group to age group. They publish a lot of very different games from small digital titles to larger budget full release games.

Yeah it's been a superb year for Nintendo. Quantity and quality abounded this year.

I also give Nintendo props for offering something different than the vast majority of what's out there and remaining incredibly creative and inventive .

I disagree with the list. Sony should have won publisher of the year. Much more higher quality games than Nintendo.

The Last of Us

Beyond Two Souls

Killzone Shadow Fall

Puppeteer

Killzone Mercenary

Ratchet and Clank Into the Nexus

Knack

Gran Turismo 6

Jak and Daxter trilogy(PSV)

Sly Cooper 4

Tearaway

Rain

The Unfinished Swan

MLB 13 The show

and probably a bunch of indie games I am forgetting. There is several others like resogun or whatever.

SONY WINS!

indeed and you forgot Dragons Crown another masterpiece. SONY is my clear choice.

Wait a minute. You refuse to give Nintendo credit for Wonderful 101, X and the like even though they published them, and yet, when Sony publishes stuff by some studios that don't belong to them, they get a pass?

And Nintendo doesn't make games for all age groups? Are they discounted because there's hardly anything from them with an M or an 18 on the damn box?

None of those games except maybe The Last of Us were run away hits like Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, or Pokemon.

If an Atlus made and Published game is now considered in Sony's Publishing list then we should add Etrian Oddysey IV, Etrian Oddysey The Millennium Girl, Shin Megami: Soul Hackers, Shin Megami IV, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor 2, and Devil Survivor Overclocked eShop Re-Release for Nintendo's List.

For what, re-releasing a bunch of 1980s cartoon rehashes for the billionth time? People should stop encouraging this sham of a company.

Sony owns Media Molecule so Tearaway is very much a "Sony" game, like X by Monolith Soft is a "Nintendo" game. Though, I think this should apply to any title where the IP is owned by a first-party.

Yet, after a previous discussion I had with Gargus, he discounts Monolith as such.

Looking at the list a lot of you are correct that Sony did do a lot more Publishing than Nintendo.

However please do note Sony did Publish a lot of stuff that was already there, like Flower, flow, DC Universe, and Jak and Daxter Trilogy. Nintendo did do something like that too, but that was only one game (Donkey Kong). Sony Published a lot more to Cross over from PS3 to PS4 or PSVita.

Also Sony's Side doesn't have hard hitters like Animal Crossing or Pokemon. Heard Dust 514 flopped pretty hard.

@MirkoS77: Darklink is right. There was more new stuff in SM3dWorld or Bravely Default or Zelda ALBW than in Knack or Sly Cooper or most of that list. Old IP =/= the same game.

What? is this because they are the only company with a next gen console with a years worth of games?

One example, 2K:

X-com: Enemy Within

Ace patrol

Ace patrol Pacific skys

WWE2k14

NBA2k14

The Bureau

Civilization V: Brave

Bioshock Infinite

Or

EA, Eidos, Ubisoft etc.

The fact you think AC is a hard hitter is a bit alarming. But maybe for you personally it is.

@Jakandsigz: Animal crossing sold like gangbusters and people are still playing it month's after release.

By all means it's a heavy hitter
