Third parties pull a fast one and blame Nintendo for their own crappy games

Yes it has happened already (I didn't claim it hadn't), and many of those games have sold well.

Just like No More Heroes sold well.  And many other 3rd party games.  Those are the 3rd parties that get it.  They make new unique games tailored to the Wii.  When companies give the Wii sloppy ports, they don't sell well.  Those companies should shut up and learn how to make good games.  It is my hope that they actually don't shut up and learn how to make good games, and they simply go out of business and leave us all alone.  The industry will be better, and leave room for better companies with new and unique ideas.

 

I know! Imagine if the only game developer would be nintendo! Oh the awesomeness of gaming!

 

Btw, those companies do know how to make good games. If they don't do that on your console of choice, it does not mean that they don't do that on other consoles.

I don't want every developer but Nintendo to go out of business.  I just want the bad ones (the majority) to go out of business.

Every generation the vast majority of 3rd parties make the vast majority of their games on the console with the highest market share.  That way they have access to the highest potential userbase and can make more money.  Money is all they care about.  Most games were for the PS2 in the 6th generation even though it was the weakest system, because it sold the most.  Most games were for the PS1 in the 5th generation even though it was the weakest system, because it sold the most.  The difference is that for some reason, the majority of developers in the 7th generation prefer to make their games for the HD consoles instead of the Wii, which has the biggest userbase.

Are we supposed to assume that all these developers are smarter than history and know a big secret about the future, or that they're stupid and trying to make some big anti-SD or anti-Nintendo point?  Most of them are losing money.  It really makes no sense.
