This whole conspiracy theory has a huge drawback. So, how exactly are Nintendo pushing 3rd parties away on the 3DS? Oh wait... they arent. Its just a conspiracy theory. Thanks for nothing.

Well, would you mind explaining how that other conspiracy theory works again? The one about 3rd parties not WANTING to develop for Nintendo consoles because they're biased? Just ask Rol about the details. I'm actually providing REAL reasons why they don't want to develop for Wii U.

The reason is simple. Because they dont sell. Nintendo's first party prowess chokes third parties that dont deliver high quality content.

The wii had the added effect that it was a casual gaming device and wasnt very popular with the hardcore. Nintendo has fixed that with the Wii U, but the installed base is still low.

 

These conspiracy theories that Nintendo are evil and trick the 3rd parties are figments of the imagination. Why? Because as i told you these third parties work with Nintendo creating games for the 3DS. Its all about the sales. If there was something, it would be western third parties hating on Nintendo, because they are heavily influenced by the gratuitous hating the internet brings, in special the US. Also, probably due to cultural barriers that certain companies do not bother to try and overcome and try to ram through (EA). We all know their practices, and we know that it was EA that got greedy as usual and messed the deal they had with Nintendo that originated all this speculation. Its what they do ALL the time.

It was in fact EA that found out that Nintendo was giving them gimped dev kits, and that's apparently why they walked away. And what are you talking about that 3rd party games don't sell on a Nintendo console? Just Dance? How about that one? Sure, it's casual title, but if anything that should show you that there is money to be made on a Nintendo console if you're a third party developer - if you just target the right group. Make the right kind of game and the game will sell. Like Skylander. Sold a bunch. That's developers putting some effort in and making a ton of money, thus redering your argument invalid. The reason a lot of developers didn't make games for the Wii was because it was hard to programme for to begin with, but Nintendo gave them restricted dev kits making it even harder. That's what I'm arguing here.
