Pachter: "Nintendo must stop living in the past"

Actually I agree with what he said as well, Nintendo's gonna limit more on what 3rd party developers can do, Nintendo's software sales lately have all been dependent on their first party games and on some casual games like Just Dance, there's not a single decent third party game I can think of that was considered a success like some of the GCN games (i.e. RE4 , SC2 and ToS for example).

People who say third party support wont determine the success of the Wii are absolutely wrong, they may of been successful with the Wii, but with the Wii-U its hard to determine that, I wouldnt be surprised if there would be less sales or less third party games compared to the Wii (which would be sad).

This generation obviously Sony and Microsoft had MORE better games on their systems than what the Wii had, hopefully the gap wont be that huge for the next gen but with the direction their going it doesnt seem like that...

 

Edit: Oh I dont agree with the "Living in the Past" quote though, its more like "Living too far into the future" imo.

Quite a few successful third party games. Just depends on what YOU mean by 'decent' and 'success'

Epic Mickey is well over 2 million.

MH3 is the biggest console version of Monster Hunter at over 2 million.

GoldenEye is slowly creeping towards 2 million as are a few of the Call of Duty titles.

There are others.

Also, did you know that RE4 sold more on Wii than GC? It has so far sold more than 2 million on the white box of misery and joy.
