What's wrong with that? What you're saying is, Nintendo should go out of their way to beg 3rd parties to eat some of their pie?

I don't think Nintendo hate money that much.

Calm down man.  You'regoing far off my original topic and putting words in my mouth.

And on that topic you just brought up, I firmly believe that Nintendo won't be able to duplicate their success for a second generation.  Sure, they were able to take 50% or more of the market this gen.  But that doesn't mean they'll be able to just ride this wave and make millions on their first party forever.  Nintendo lost its dominance after the SNES when third parties jumped ship to Playstation.  The N64 was Nintendos last first party focused system and it didn't end well.  The same could easily happen next gen if they continue to ignore third parties.  And Nintendo knows this.  Why do you think they made the GC and Wii, focusing heavily on third parties?

Nintendo is stuck in a hole.  They can continue to dominate the market with just the profits from their first party line up.  But they'll never have the full market penetration of a PS2 or SNES if they don't appeal to third parties.  This is why I think they'll be releasing a more graphics focused console (like the GameCube) in 2012.

So, you want Nintendo to do what they did with GC and fail again? WTF

The difference is, Nintendo made the GameCube to specifically try to appeal to third parties, at a time when the N64 had already pushed them away and the PS2 was destined to get 95% of al third party support.

At this time, Nintendo is virtually half the market just themselves and the Wii was by far the most successful system, even without third parties.  If they chose this time to actually appeal to this parties and make a graphically powerful system, it would work.  Unlike on the GameCube.

3rd party will do the same to Nintendo even now with a next gen consule even if they come out with the most powerfull platform ever.  going after 3rd party is the mistake its already done and may be doing again.

Nintendo needs to expand 1st party software capacity.   Its the Company's strenght and its there bigest advantage over the 2 others.

If they want to Win this 3 way War. they need to double there 1st party output. maybe even more.

Id floore a good part of the nintendo money into opening new studio's and expanding the ones already in place, and Id continue until, I could produce 1 Qualaty game per every month there is in a year.

Game over

 

 

Nintendo has already more than doubled its first party output this gen.  More first and second party games have been made for the Wii than any other Nintendo system.  But that doesn't mean the SALES will continue.  As I brought up above, the next Nintendo system could end up being another N64 if they just try to go with 'what works' and ignore third parties.

Sure, Nintendo will make money.  But it doesn't mean they will make as much or be the dominating force in gaming.
