Should Nintendo really be proud of third parties success on Wii?

i guess it's a good thing that 3rd party devs sell well on Wii, maybe Iwata was just addressing the criticism - that Wii wasn't a good place to publish games for 3rd party devs and that only Nintendo games sell well on Nintendo platforms.

And NPD showed it isn't true either. Even if the ratio dropped since that announcement, it still shows they sell on the Wii.

"No. And, it's especially bad considering these high selling third party games are titles like Carnival Games and not games like No More Heroes or Okami that deserve good sales."

Both made money, and both are getting sequels. Don't tell me they didn't have good sales.

 

They and the Metroid games and Muramasa didn't sell anywhere near as well as games rated significantly lower than them did.  You don't see that on PS3 and 360 -- much lower rated games selling significantly more than Halo or Gears or MGS and Uncharted.
