Do you really think Nintendo cares about 3rd parties? I don't. They are probably satisfied with doing their own thing, and don't like to be come dependent on 3rd parties, or else when they do lose third party support, and the console is dependent on them they will start to lose sales. This has happened with the Snes-N64, and right now is hapening to the PS3(360 has much more third party support, and there aren't to many exclusives on either console to really warrant a purchase). So Nintendo does their own thing, and I don't see how this would benefit them. |
Yes, Nintendo cares about third parties, most 3rd parties (most recently HVS) really appreciated how Nintendo was helping them.

THere is a difference between caring about 3rd parties supporting your console, and putting the focus on the Third Parties, as we see in this case.

The fact of the matter is Sony has to use third parties to sell their consoles because they need to make money on the first party titles they do own. If they threw all their first party games in as freebies they'd not only lose money on the console itself but also on the games.
Losing money is the only thing Sony does that Nintendon't
