If true, this could mark the first console generation where Nintendo has struggled to attract significant third-party support. I wonder how they'll fare?

What I find most surprising about the numbers of those four publishers is that their revenue on Nintendo platforms went down, even though they ramped up their support over these years. Actually, I am shocked that traditionally strong Nintendo supporters like EA and Take Two didn't fare better.

This could help explain the lack of a Wii U port of GTA V, or Madden 25. I also expect that western developers are going to retract their handheld development support as well, which could mean the 3DS will be down year-on-year.

watch out you are being Rol-ed...
