Think about this.

Imagine it happened. Imagine that Nintendo did have to almost single-handedly support the Wii with its games. This would cement the image that "Only Nintendo games sell on Nintendo consoles." Do you understand how painful that stigma would be not only this generation but in the following ones? Even with the highest selling console of the bunch, 3rd parties choosing not to support a Nintendo console means that they wouldn't even support it at its best.

This is all hypothetical, but this stigma is a very real possibility that Nintendo very much needs to avoid.

But... the support is going to eventually follow much like it did with the DS. The struggle is centered around Japan where home console gaming has been contracting and the third party developers there are struggling in the home market. I'm sure the western developers are going to figure out how to put one and one together and come out with "ii" soon.


Logically support should follow sales however sales need to follow support as well.
