Look at what Atlus did for the 3DS:
Plenty of 3rd party put in effort to help the 3DS. |

Not to mention, the first time we have Persona game on Nin system with PQ1 & 2 though just spin off but still canon to the story, that is way more than DS, not really a step back. Level 5 support for it also is way better than DS. In 8 gen, Western support focus on smartphones, 3ds and vita only have some Western games at several first years and then, Japan games only for both and some indie games from the West. Named Octopath, you shouldn't ignore Bravely Default/Bravely Second. I agree that 3ds have 3rd party support worse than GBA/DS but not all are step back, it is a JRPG heaven |
There were good third party games on 3DS, and yes a small few companies increased support. But for every Level 5 or Atlus, there were at least three Sega's or Ubisoft's who never took the console seriously for the most part. 3DS is much closer to the GameCube and Wii in that regard. Okay third party support, but not reliable enough for Nintendo fall back on, thus forcing them to produce much of the big titles themselves.
