Nintendo and 3rd parties *Formerly; Nintendo is f*cking up big times with 3rd parties*

1) Seems logical enough.. And 3rd parties would rather see Nintendo go so that they don't have to compete against Nintendo's 1st party line up? But what would happen if they went 3rd party then? They'd be EVERYWHERE!

2) I underlined something I think makes a lot of sense! And that's why Just Dance is a much bigger franchise than Gears ^^ imo at least. So, do you think it would make sense for 3rd parties to make multiplats for PS360/720 and make exclusive games for Wii U that takes advantage of the HW?

3) I guess this ties in with the point made above; games taking advantage of the HW will perform better and boost 1st and 3rd party games. Or, would you say that I am wrong in that assumption?

4) Seriously Rol, what's up with the wall of text? It took me like 2 days to read it all ^^ better late than never I guess

1) When Sega went third party after dominating their own platforms' sales, they were everywhere too. But nobody considers third party Sega to be as strong as first party Sega. Not even close. It's not hard to imagine that Nintendo would be weakened as well after having to scale back their operations in order to survive as a company.

2) Games that take advantage of any given hardware pretty much always resonate better with the audience, because they convey the message that the developer was serious about making a good game. Games don't have to be exclusive to accomplish this and nowadays it's unreasonable to expect exclusive third party games on home consoles. This goes doubly so for the Wii U, because its sales levels are atrocious.

3) Your assumption is correct. Quality games spur sales of other games, because consumers are satisfied and usually want more whereas bad games might put off consumers from buying video games altogether.

4) I try to keep my posts as short as possible, it's just that certain subjects require several paragraphs to form a coherent argument and address possible questions in advance.

1) But doesn't Nintendo have stronger IP's than Sega? Just imagine how LBP would be effected if a 2D Mario was to hit Playstation... Who would play LBP?! But then again, tying in with point 3; good games sell more good games, so maybe they'd thrive? And the same logic could then be applied to Zelda and Fable and other franchises... Now that I come to think about it (and this is merely a thought, I haven't looked this up) it would seem that MS/Sony has more 1st party games aching to those of Nintendo than what 3rd parties have...

2) No further comments.

3) Oki doki =)

4) haha I was just joking with you! While you tend to post looong posts, they're often very enlightening! But I much rather read them as replies to someone else than me ^^
