Why do developers act like Nintendo fans are obligated to buy their shitty games?

In the grounds of objectivity its a fairly easy statement to make. Name a game on XBLA or PSN as significant as Sonic The Hedgehog (though the genesis game is on both, i'm pretty sure)

You didnt say "significant" you said "out and out BETTER" games that is what im calling you out on. I could name quite a few games that are just as good or better than Sonic 1 on XBL & PSN. Stacking, Braid, Scott Pilgrim, Wait a tic, Sonic 1 is on XBL and PSN. On the grounds of objectivity... you dont really have any, you dont own a HD console so how would you know what they offer???

Objectivity is a market thing. Have these games, as a whole, registered better with consumers than Sonic the Hedgehog did in the past, or even have they registered better than the still-available Sonic does today?

That's objectivity, which i don't need to own a single game console or even know what the hell Braid, Stacking, Geometry Wars, Pixeljunk ____, Castle Crashers, Limbo, et. al are.

What point are you trying to make exactly? Xbox LIve, PSN, Steam etc. all have a sizeable amount of classic games on offer, and nobody seems to think those games make it more difficult to sell newer, unproven ones...
If the situation is any different on Nintendo's service it has to be because of the service itself.

And just like I said to Rol, if there really is some inherent bias towards classic games on Nintendo's online system, why aren't we seeing more AAA 3rd party titles from years gone by?
