The nintendo software conspiracy (wii/3th party related)

Actually Nintendo is diverting disc production to 3rd parties and sacrificing their own sales, even that it sounds so unbelievable to some. Think about it, they have contracts made already about the games, Nintendo knows that they need 3rd parties and therefor Nintendo needs to have good relations to them. Iwata brought a different way of thinking with him to Nintendo, which, by Iwatas words, is that earlier Nintendo saw them making a playground (the console), what the 3rd parties just come to take advantage of, but nowdays Nintendo sees 3rd parties as business partners* (or something like that, and that was said at the time of GC launch). So in order to keep 3rd parties on Wii, they need to keep 3rd parties happy. And if it means delaying one or two games by couple of months or keep one of their biggest titles sales lower for a moment when it eventually sells as good as without supply problems, it definately is worth it to Nintendo. *bolded for Zucas

 

 Makes very good business sense, if you want third parties to throw more support at your platform then dont compete with them at every level - this is why I want titles like Wii Fit,  Wii Music etc to succeed  as they are unique and are genuine system sellers thus allowing Nintendo unique titles to get systems off the shelf and leaving third parties to enjoy some success with Nintendo wading in with just enough original style if you like first party titles  to keep everyone happy and make some big money off them in the process. I t's these little gestures that will drag the quality of Wii third party titles up
