| Declan said: @LordTheNightKnight I wasn't saying that Sony and Microsoft don't have any hits, just not enough to make the environment for third parties quite difficult. |
Nintendo still had hits in the NES and SNES years, and third parties STILL had plenty of hits. Street Fighter II was not only Capcom's biggest selling game ever on the SNES (in terms of copies sold, not quarters put in), but it was also a killer app for the system.
So it's still third parties making the games not sell themselves.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
