@xerostomia: Now it made even less sense.
First, 3rd parties isn't a single instance. This was the first part that went wrong. How does it help for example Hudson if Ubisoft has 5M+ sellers on PS360? It really doesn't matter who has the biggest sellers, if it's not the specific publisher/developer, 1st or 3rd party, whose game is the big seller.
Next you contradicted the first point, by noticing the same as i just wrote above.
Which one to buy, GTA or UT3, MGS or Soul Calibur? If you want to know what really worries 3rd parties, it's that even high profile 1st party titles flop on PS3.
No. Nintendo haven't alienated itself from the core gamers. Who really alienated itself from core gamers, is Sony.
As for the Diablo example, why buy Diablo 3, if the only improvement would be graphics? Or are just suggesting, that you buy the same shit, only in prettier package and be happy about it?
And your PC example, if (nearly) most of the active gamers had 8 years old PC and they wouldn't buy games unless the PC can run them, i think it's the stupidity of the developer for not to make games for the old PC.
The industry runs with games that people want to play and buy. What the developers are doing, is that they create a product for consumers to buy. Nintendo have managed to do this very well this gen, with games and consoles, and some 3rd parties more or less worse. If 3rd parties want to complain about something, they can complain about them making bad products.
Ei Kiinasti.
Eikä Japanisti.
Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.
Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.
