I am not sure what point you are trying to make with your "hardware sells software" post.

My point is to argue that it is in Nintendo's best interest to sell the most hardware possible, even if the games that increase the appeal of the system themselves aren't big sellers, but push the general appeal of the console (hence push HW, which in turn pushes SW).

Games that increase the appeal of the system... sell the system.


Which isn't to say that all such games are huge mega-blockbusters, but they need to be games with a constituency dedicated enough to move hardware sales in a manner at least equivalent to the cost of the game's production.
