Btw, that's complete bullshit that Nintendo's 3rd party support would magically improve drastically after the release of a Wii HD. Remember the Gamecube had comparable power to its competitors yet still received little 3rd party support, probably even worse than Wii currently has! Most 3rd parties don't like puting their games on Nintendo platform simply because they don't have what it takes to compete with Nintendo. The power of the hardware means very little in this case. |
You can't compare Gamecube third party support to Wii, because Gamecube was in third place. That was the reason for Gamecube getting shafted, becuase if someone was making a multiplatform game last generation, and budget was tight, the logical place to cut was a GCN port. There were not enough people that had the system, and those that had it mostly bought it for first party games. The Wii is a market leader, and its third party support should be compared to PS1 and PS2. And when you do, you can see that it's pathetic. There are multiple often well documented reasons for this, and Nintendo hate is not one of them. The last time Nintendo had a market leading and powerful system in SNES, it got plenty of third party support.
