Everyone is critical of Nintendo this holiday season for not having solid releases.
But how much should the maker of the console be responsible for its software success?
Nintendo tends to have a 4:1 (four Nintendo hits for every third-party hit) ratio of top-sellers while Sony and Microsoft have the inverse (1:4).
While people here have been critical of third-parties for not relasing more quality games for the Wii, most video game outlets have tended to focus solely on the Big N. Meanwhile, Sony and Microsoft are expected to produce as many hits or games.
I know history has something to do with different expectations. But both Sony and Microsoft have been making games and/or buying game companies for years now. So should they not be expected to have more first-party success?
