I think he's right overall. Especially when we see 'professional' game developers taking time out to take jabs at other consoles "I made this game for the PS3, because the 360 can't handle it!" and so on. Nintendo seems to get the brunt of it, and third party developers have long jumped ship. By some miracle, Nintendo has forced them to look their way again. And while I'm not that happy with the games they develop for Wii, I do love the fact these third parties had to bring themselves back to the table. But this guy is right, Wii HD won't help. They're looking for any reason NOT to develop for Nintendo.

As for Sega, I disagree. If memory serves, there was strong third party support for Dreamcast. And sales were pretty decent. Didn't they sell 10 million consoles in its short lifespan? Some big hitters pulled support, and waited to launch with PS3, but I think the sales were very respectable. But it was too little too late. As someone said, Sega at their height had more ballz than business sense. Dreamcast was almost destined to fail, for they were too far in the hole to start.
