Nintendo is trying really hard to get 3rd parties on board to develop games and have offered incentives such as not releasing big-title Nintendo games in holiday seasons to compete against 3rd party titles.


Oh this better not be true.

Why?


This would be acceptable if it just meant that Nintendo's titles were released more evenly throughout the year. That would be fine. Zelda launching in June, 2D Mario launching in August, fine, whatever.

But if it ended up meaning that Nintendo was releasing fewer games for it I'd rather Nintendo kicked third parties in the nuts and shat in all of their sock drawers.  I do not care about third party support on Nintendo consoles even half as much as I care about Nintendo games on Nintendo consoles.

Agree with Khuutra.  And even if this doesn't mean we'll get less Nintendo games during the course of a given year, I don't feel really good about Nintendo completely conceeding the holiday season to 3rd parties by not releasing their own blockbuster.

I don't think Nintendo would do that.  I don't believe this for one second.

I don't think Nintendo needs to worry about their holiday sales much anyways, they can release their games during any time of the year and they will still sale well and have high sales during the holiday season after their games release either way. We are talking about years without gaps in quality game releases every month, I can't complain.
