I already know about this information, but using this information to shift the blame 100% to Nintendo is also wrong. I definitely acknowledge that if Nintendo were better with 3rd parties in the past, there wouldn't be nearly as many problems with third parties. But it's a lie to say that Nintendo hasn't been doing anything to fix the relationships, or that it is Nintendo's fault period. Third parties in-fact do have a part in the blame. It may be to a lesser degree, but it's not as simple as it being all one company's fault. |
true, and i agree. but he does say a good point which is that every gen, nintendo has done atleast something to make some serious trouble for third parties. when it comes to the WiiU he actually just states power of the console which is something that effects just big AAA games really. indie and sport games shouldnt care much about that. he doesnt get into that. which i find the blame to be mostly on the publishers (sports games). i stated many times that i find it very stupid for EA not to release Fifa on the WiiU. i can see a point of where they are coming from, but as a long term plan i find it very stupid. konami are even more stupid for not releasing PES

In general, I personally wouldn't call the decisions made by Nintendo stupid like too many people do. Many times they can only be called stupid in hindsight. Some of them aren't stupid, but are a bit greedy. I mean, at the time I do not think that most people would have seen gaming grow to where it is today.
There are many reasons Nintendo made the "bad decisions" they did, and none of them were "stupid" for the time. While it seems like all I do is defend Nintendo or damage control and whatever, I do it because almost no one talks about it. I certainly don't like when these things are missed out. It paints the situation much differently and people start feeling the wrong emotions.
In the end, I am certain if Nintendo saw any of this coming they wouldn't have repeated their mistakes. It seems to me that too many people feel that Nintendo makes mistakes because they're "stupid" and "don't know what they're doing." It's pretty obvious to me that Nintendo is trying to strengthen their relationship with 3rd parties and create new ones with Indies. I feel that anyone who denies it hasn't been keeping up with gaming news.
