Well... I don't really like to do this. I am stating an interview without a source. But he did mention that they were going to do everything they could to get third party support on it. This was not speculation.

It is an old interview. He starts out by telling the story of how he became the president of nintendo. He said something on the lines of "I was called by the previous president and thoght I was going to be fired. Instead, he asks if Iwata would like to be Nintendo's president." I am saying this because someone might remember and have a link. After that, he starts talking about how he viewd nintendo at the time and what they were going to do to change it.

Anyway... if someone finds this, I could make a better argument and prove that they mentioned they were going to do everything they could to get third party support.
