@Danne. You keep diverting my suggestion towards 2nd party bolstering. It's not that I disagree with it, but I believe that snagging THIRD party exclusives is more important in capturing the HD twin consumerbase, because the bias is inexistent.

Not being a push-over, just being realistic, is all.

 

I would also love to see more 3rd party efforts on the console, question is how they gonna get it. If they can't even secure GTA5... Right now they got ZombiU (which hopefully will turn in to a franchise) and Rayman Legends...

Right now? It's just launch bro.

In time, the plan within the year (before the competition releases and gains traction) should be to secure efforts like Bayo, weaker studios that can't make wind on their own, Nintendo can stoop in and leverage their talent. These must be brands that have been effective at attracting that market prior, though.

So the THQ idea was not a bad one, as those games tend to sell your average sales # for the HD market (1m). Multiplats shouldn't be an issue and they aren't the game changers anyways. They do need to be there though, and haveing parity was a minimum. Now that we know Nintendo can't get that in lazy ports... that's no longer an option.

Nintendo will never get the multiplat optimization crown over MS and Sony in the short term as the market hasn't proved to exist on their platform just yet, that's why these suggestions are the only path of action for the time being (sadly).
