Man, I just don't get your definition of "core games." Nintendo lost a lot of third parties to the Genesis that generation, and that was when they had only one competing console to worry about. I don't think you're taking the competition into account -- of course Call of Duty didn't sell very well on Wii, there were much better versions of the game available for competing consoles.

Suggesting that Super Metroid and A Link to the Past are not "core games" is blasphemy imo.


What? Which third parties did they lose? This is news to me....I always thought the SNES had the best third party support...l0l.

Around 4:40 in the first video linked in the OP. It's not like all the third parties abandoned Nintendo for the Genesis, but this was the beginning of the exodus.
