When Nintendo supports third parties, then maybe third parties will consider supporting Nintendo consoles. If Nintendo aren't willing to make the effort, then I don't see why third parties should try when they already have two or three viable platforms to put their games on, especially when they all have have higher attacth rates than the Wii. When someone does take the risk, then they don't meet their expectations and pull out. It's so easy to see and it makes more sense than making up weird fanboy conspiracy theories.



Nintendo has done the following this generation that I can remember off the top of my head:

Localised and advertised DQIX in the West

Advertised MH3 in West, allowed Capcom to design CC Pro

Retro gave Ubisoft support with FPS controls in Red Steel 2

Nintendo have let their 1st and 2nd parties actually make games for 3rd parties, such as Intelligent made DQ Wars, Genius Sonority helped on DQ Swords and Monolith made some SRT games.

Nintendo let 3rd parties use Nintendo licences, such as Square-Enix with Mario Basketball and Mario Sports Mix

Nintendo is localising and publishing games like Goldeneye in Japan

Nintendo worked directly with Team Ninja on Metroid Other M

Miyamoto designed a mini game for the Wii version of Samurai Warriors 3

Nintendo have made bundles for the likes of MH3, Tales of Graces, Final Fantasy III and the like

Nintendo probably funded The Last Story

Wii motion plus actually launched entirely with 3rd party software, MS and Sony didn't do the same with Kinect and Move.

 

I really can't see how you believe that Nintendo 'aren't willing to make the effort'
