Because I'm not a Nintendo fan who thinks third parties are always out to screw over Nintendo. I'm one of the rare ones who believes it's up to Nintendo, they are the platform, the onus is on them to appeal to partners.
Those who see it the other way around seem to lack the business mind, and feed into Nintendo's vestigial arrogance.
That's a point where you and I, despite being fans of different platforms, actually meet. And there are few like me here, most are PS fans.

Right, well, I meant the hypothetical "you". A lot of Nintendo fans genuinely believe that third parties have nothing better to do than plan ways to fuck over Nintendo, rather than seeing third parties' actions as being based on demographics and market conditions. If they believe this, what did third parties show for the Wii U that would give them any hope that things are going to be different this time? Only Ubi showed a bunch of stuff, but they always seem to go in heavy for the launch of a new Nintendo platform, so nothing has changed there.
And don't mistake me for a Sony fan, damn it! I may like the PS3 best at the moment, but earlier this generation I was over the moon about the 360. I fought the good fight against the hordes of Sony fanboys when I first arrived on the shores of VGChartz. (I was also about two years late to the party this gen because I was doing all my gaming almost exclusively on PC until I couldn't take not playing Dead Rising any longer.) So I'm not one for loyalty to any platform holder, and as I grew up on the NES and SNES, nothing would make me happier than to see Nintendo give me a reason to come back home.
