Oh come on Carl, everyone knows that people only care about Mario, that is why it sells 25M copies.

Who cares if Wii has ~90M consoles out there and apparently 65M people didn't give a damn about Mario.

Why not use MK that sold 30+M and say 60m Wii owners don’t care about Mario?
I still need to buy MK on Wii which means not everybody buys every game with Mario in the name so you could easily spread the different franchises over the 90m+

I said they only need Mario and all will be well not that they would sell 90m+

You don’t seriously believe that Wii sold 90m+ because of 3rd parties now do you? As dolphin said they don’t need them as the other two do

You know your 100% full of it right? If your assumption is correct then what happened to the N64 and Gamecube? Obviously they were missing the 3rd parties then.

I also didn't mention Mario Kart because I didn't need to. My point was that those games alone did not sell all 94M consoles. You really think that 30M bought MKWii and a seperate 25M bought New Super Mario Bros. Wii? I bet there is a large amount of overlapping in those sales, not to mention one of the two is still bundled, just like it has for over a year now. Or does it now come bundled with NSMBWii? 

 

Now, Nintendo makes a music game and it does decent because of the "Wii" in the title, but I don't see it having a future. Yes, I am talking about Wii Music.

Now look at those useless 3rd parties and games like Just Dance which has fueled the Wii for how many holiday seasons? Want to bet that Zumba Fitness and Just Dance 3 made more of a dent this holiday than Zelda? I bet you don't.

 

Anyways, if you want to go with this generation, yes, you can make the argument that Nintendo didn't really need the 3rd party devs, but don't go acting as if that is always the case, because history proves that to not be true and there is no guarantee that next gen will treat Nintendo so kindly without 3rd party support. For all you know their own titles might not be enough and without 3rd party support the Wii U might suffers a simliar fate to the N64 or GCN.

 

Just do yourself a favor and stop acting like 3rd parties means nothing because if you haven't noticed it is thanks to 3rd parties than Wii is dying and PS360 are thriving.

With some good 3rd party support we might not be talking about Wii U just yet.

 

3rd parties is also why Wii will probably never catch PS2, even though it was posting record shattering numbers early on.

Believe it or not, Nintendo can only do so much on their own. They do need 3rd parties. I know, others know it and going by Nintendo's own line of thought lately, they too know that they need them.
