The company who's keeping a console alive by only their exclusives :P

It died and has been semi reborn recently.  It is a zombie console.

Oh and another point it does have a fairly big selection of third-party games, especially at launch, the period in which it sold the most.

Nintendo is proving it right now. Nintendo definitely. I'm also not a fanboy of either. It's just clear objectivity.

No, it isn't.


Clear objectivity on my part. Is that better?!

That's called subjectivity :P

As for the original topic, I say Nintendo. Not sure who I'd put as a number 2 to be honest, I play a lot of stuff from a lot of different publishers.

But right now, can you say that the Wii U has a solid lineup of strong 3rd party games? Heck, is a big 3rd party game even coming to the Wii U in the fututre? No, the biggest games like Zelda U, Starfox Zero and Xenoblade Chronicles X are from Nintendo.

I think you didn't get my point. What I was trying to say was that Wii U sold the most in the same period when it got a lot of third-party support. And when third-party support dried Wii U's sales also fell. So there is a direct correlation between Wii U's sales and the (few) third-party games it got.

What that also says is that Wii U would have sold even less without third-party, especially in Japan where games like MH, DQ and Taiko did help to sell systems, and it would have had a bad start too which third-party prevented from happening.
