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

has it ever occured to you, in your percentages, to check how many 1st party games each company releases? Nintendo simply puts out more games.

Seriously, let's just compare with what we have on VGChartz. When I search for Wii titles by Nintendo, I get 37 results. That means that per year(over 2 years), Nintendo has roughly 18+1st party titles. Looking at the 360, I got 31 1st party titles. That's 10+ 1st party titles per year(over 3 years). Nintendo has nearly double the number of 1st party titles out.

You're also using attach rate. Which is obviously going to be higher for lower selling consoles. Gamecube had the highest attach rate of last generation.
Ultimately, the problem stems from the fact that you're making the same mistake as 3rd party developers: you're looking at numbers without context. You go, "oh, attach rate is higher on 360, must be better audience", but what they(and you) fail to take into account is that Nintendo is pumping out 18+ titles per year, and they're GOOD GAMES, whether rated highly or not. Gamers on the Wii are used to the quality that Nintendo has brought to the plate, and aren't going to buy a game unless it meets their standards.

What this all boils down to is a very simple concept that no one seems to get; 3rd party developers are the ones who have the duty to provide quality games that consumers would be willing to purchase. Consumers do not have a duty to purchase games that do not meet their standards.

Quoted for truth. I think it is appalling that these 3rd party devs, are actually mad that the wii audience do not want to buy their crappy games, its down right insulting. Then they have the cheek to blame Nintendo, because without super HD processing powers they are not creative enough to make a good game.
