If third parties want sales on Nintendo platforms they are going to have to commit. They've conditioned millions of Nintendo console owners over the past 17 years to think that third party games are crap with shoddy releases. That attitude won't change overnight. They had a golden opportunity to make inroads last generation with the Wii and they failed miserably.

A mistake I constantly see on forums is the assumption that most gamers are informed. Gamers that frequent forums are in the minority. Most gamers don't frequent forums. Nor do they follow the industry via the internet with baited breath. People need to step back and realize this.

Not true. Gamers followed third parties to the consoles that support third parties. Third parties did not have a golden opportunity, especially when 95% of the people who own your consoles are casuals. Western companies outside of Blizzard dont have much pull with the Japanese  and the sales will show on the Wii. Core titles sold not even ok in proportion to how much the console sold. There were some great JRPG's and core titles too.

I disagree. It's been nearly two decades since a Nintendo home console had full third party support. There is an entire generation of gamers that weren't even born since you could buy a Nintendo home console with top notch support. That's literally a generation of gamers that cannot grasp the concept of a Nintendo home console with full third support because they've never seen it.
