And you immediately assume that Nintendo is in the wrong.

Nintendo aren't saints, certainly. They've run their share of bad business practices in the past, but when it comes to their relationships with third parties; they are the victims. (with indie developers, the question is more complicated, as Nintendo has made some abusive decisions there), but all Nintendo has tried to do is give third parties what they want, often to Nintendo's own detriment, and yet they get spat on.

thats entirely not true, it is nintendo who spat on 3rd parties during the nes and snes generations. it was sega and sony who came and developed strong relationships with third parties and nintendo lived with the consequence's of that during the n64/gamecube days. 

That was 20 years ago, and Nintendo have spent the last 10 years trying to improve their relationship with 3rd parties, but ofcourse there is a limit how far they are willing to go.
