Western 3rd parties are dumb...

 

Even still, I expect Activision, EA, T2 and all the others are scrambling to get more rounded lineups ready asap.  Right now I expect Ubisoft, THQ and WBI to capitalize best on 3DS early on.

Execs from Japanese 3rd parties disagree with you :P

And let's get one thing straight, Nintendo doesn't need 3rd parties, they've shown this over the years. In about 2-3 years though, 3rd parties will need Nintendo if they want to put their games on a dedicated mobile machine with buttons and 3D.

Yes, I'm sure the president of Alchemist surely speaks for all Japanese execs. :P
