Sony "pleading" with Third-party Devs?

Has it really?

Sure, they aren't the same as they were back in the day, but are they really catering (Catering being the key-word) to third-parties?
With a system selling as fast as the Wii there should be tons of third-party content. Why haven't we seen this? 'Cause Nintendo doesn't care. They know they're going to the bank with their first-party offerings, and they hardly want to go out of their way to secure third-parties.  That has always been their philosophy, which is why third-party titles generally (With the obvious exceptions) don't do well on Ninty platforms.

 But nevermind, I do just defend Sony. Can't help it.

 

Hiroshi Yamauchi was Nintendo's president for nearly 53 years and can be credited for up until 2002 when Satoru Iwata replaced him as president of Nintendo. Iwata was far more focused on third party relationships than Yamauchi ever was, and unfortunately came to power far too late in the Gamecube's life to make much of a difference in its third party support.

Because of Iwata we can say that there is practically no third party publisher who is not supporting the Wii, and I suspect that soon we will be able to claim that no third party publisher is poorly supporting the Wii.
