Nintendo did what was best for Nintendo, as Nintendo always does. They did not take into account how it would impact third parties because they don't care. This was probably the best move for them, but it did ensure they would have trouble getting any key franchises. Install base means nothing if 60-85% of all games sold are first party... unless that install base has the penetration of the DS, and even then it's iffy.
