Like I said, there are certain genres that I don't see selling on Nintendo consoles - sport simulations for instance.

However there are many success stories already on Switch that show there is an appetite for non-nintendo titles. Lots of smaller games yes, but 3rd party nonetheless.

Remember that so far, the bigger budget 3rd party offerings are mostly all older ports, that many Switch owners will already own on another platform. So, they're never going to be sales monsters.

Games don't have to outsell their Nintendo equivalents to be considered successful, that's quite a bizarre definition you're driving at their...

The problem with your argument is that 3rd party support for the last 3 or 4 generations has been extremely weak - so comparing the sales to Nintendo's own games isn't going to prove anything other than they are for the most part, much better games. Just look at review scores of Nintendo games vs 3rd party games released on Nintendo consoles any time in the last 15 - 20 years...

Pretty sure that was someone just misunderstanding the original rumour and putting their own "spin" on it.

Also it's a false equivalence to say that a Nintendo fan's positive prejudice amounts to the same as an anti-nintendo fan's negative prejudice.

A Nintendo fan becomes devoted to the company and its games because they've enjoyed a seminal selection of games over years or even decades. It has been earned. 

The anti-nintendo fan generally doesn't play any or many of the companies games, but rather draws on a pre-existing bias. 

Again, I'm not saying everyone has to like every Nintendo game, but I just don't find it credible that an honest fan of many genres of game can't find a good deal to enjoy within Nintendo's catalogue.

And this goes for any developer. Just because I don't own an Xbox or PlayStation doesn't mean that I doubt there'd be titles on them that I'd enjoy! 

Every developer has a certain style for making games. Playstation and Nintendo are very far apart in that regard. Or the new bayonetta and the new god of war, as far as exclusives go. I can imagine someone enjoying let's say resident evil 4 but doesn't like the last of us.

Sony's style of games is way more presentation and story driven and tends to blur the line between cinema and game. While Nintendo puts 90% of their focus on gameplay and wave a story etc around that. Nintendo tjeir games will never try to blur lines between games and other media. There are always a few exceptions. But I can see someone enjoying nearly all Nintendo games and disliking near all Sony games or the other way around. It doesn't say much about the quality of the game, just your preferences for one or the other. I like Sony's approach more and I think odyssey is way to weird for me, although botw seems pretty cool, although I still don't like the artstyle.

For me it is the first handheld that feels cutting edge and getting the big games.  I like the Vita, but it felt secondary to Sony compared to the home PlayStation consoles.  This is the big Zelda and Mario on the go and they look great.  It is also quite easy to switch control options or go to television mode.  Couple that with the Wii U leaving a gap in time for some of us and ready to play Nintendo again.

Exactly, but usually the more biased the person is and think he isn't think he has bias the more he thinks everyone else is biased by not seeing things like him.

The problem with my argument is that you are only able to accept anti-Nintendo bias and not anti-3rd party Bias.

If you accept that from all developers some may have one or another game that is best than Nintendo offering, but the top sellers on Nintendo console are all Nintendo... and your claim of sports is a little weak since Nintendo can make and sell greatly Mario Tennis, Golfe, Basebal and Soccer.

I didn't say anything about what defines a success... but you said that considering Nintendo have games in all genres it's impossible to not like any of their games without prejudice and being a hater, but for you it's possible that no 3rd party can have a game that Nintendo doesn't have something in that genre that outsell it. Sorry to burst it for you, but Nintendo fans aren't better or worse than any other fan, and if you accept there is anti-Nintendo bias there is just as much pro-Nintendo bias and anti-3rd party Bias.

Unfortunately there were someone that discussed with me for like 2h that it made sense for Nintendo to produce 30M and only ship 25M, because parts could become unavailable or they would get a major discount for a higher bulk, no mater if that would mean 1.5B of inventory stopped on the manufacturing line and like 6 months of consumption on a slower month.

The thing is, when you talk about Nintendo games, you're talking about games from many different teams & studios. 

Mario / Zelda / Pikmin / F-Zero / Xenobade / Starfox / Metroid Prime / Fire Emblem / Pokemon / Animal Crossing / Smash Bros / Mario Kart / DKC / Splatoon / etc. span a wide variety of genres, art-styles and 'feel' - so there is no single 'style' to be drawn to or put off by...

I simply don't buy that there's some common thread running through all of these games that can be identified and viewed negatively...

I can buy the the scenario that some gamers on other systems take the lazy approach and just assume everything on a Nintendo system is a variation on Mario and that they all look 'kiddie', which simply isn't the case...

If you want story then zelda, xenoblade, the next metroid prime, when it arrives - all have a shot at scratching that itch.

I like some Nintendo games and some aren't for me and I believe that this would be the case for 99% of gamers if they actually tried playing the games rather than immediately deciding that they're not for them...

How am I biased when I've openly stated that I'm sure I'd like some of Sony or MS's properties if owned their systems...?

I listen to quite a few gaming podcasts - Giant Beast Cast, IGN UK, Game Scoop, DLC, The Besties - most of the journalists involved have been in gaming for a long time and all are obviously passionate about the industry. Do you know how many of them have an aversion to Nintendo games in general? None.

Some of them are into some Nintendo properties more than others but that's natural & the only objective, unbiased view in my opinion.

That's because they just love gaming and are past the adolescent phase of supporting a games corporation like you do a football team...

Oh yeh i saw that. I thought you was saying  it was what you thought Nintendo would do, when in all probability their manufacturing process would/will be flexible, dependant on demand, whatever the production quota is.
