deBlob sold very well.  deBlob 2 failed on everything.   The Conduit went up against Call of Duty and got overshadowed by the 10 ton gorilla.  It still made them profits and met their target expectations.

But what third party has ever even come close to mario kart. Third parties that work for nintendo just feel ripped off. Why is it that if they make a game for Nintendo, they just can't fork over some cash and advertise for them. When MS practically Bends over for activision and Sony does the same for EA and tons of other third parties. I guarantee you, that the conduit would have sold better if Nintendo just stepped up, and said "You know what, these guys are taking a risk for us, we gotta have thier back. Lets give them some commercials, and make sure they do well *better than they did*, even in the face of defeat." And don't even get me started on silent hill.

So you didn't read the Ask Iwata part did you?

we are developing several titles in collaboration with these publishers.
Please understand that Nintendo is prepared to invest in order to make this a reality.

Sounds to me like they are about to off load a bunch of cash for co-development, publishing, funding and marketing.
