Sony and MS make a lot of first party titles too but none are really on the level of the Nintendo ones in my opinion. Halo was great and all and a console seller for a lot of people but to me it's a pretty good first person shooter that's a lot like other first person shooters.
Just saying if there was only one system and everyone made software for it Nintendo would likely be the biggest Software company by far. There franchise games harly ever miss. If you plan on owning only 2 of the 3 consoles of any generation you pretty much need the Nintendo Console.
I mean i have a few friends who do pretty much nothing but bash Nintendo... yet if you go to their house they have a Gamecube for Zelda and the Mario Games (Smash, Party, etc.) A 64 somewhere and an X-box or Dreamcast with an emulation CD to play SNES and Nintendo games. I feel bad for them... because they hate Nintendo but can't help but buy their systems and there games.
