I'm not sure how useful that is to the post I made. Do you believe that 3rd party main games (Splinter Cell, Tomb Raider) have any importance to Nintendo home console success? Do you believe that a console with Wii-like success and parity would sell main 3rd party games, or need main 3rd party games? Do you believe that such a console is possible in today's market (e.g. is Wii-like success and parity possible for Nintendo?). |
Of course it has relevance to what you're saying and at this point no those games don't really matter on a Nintendo console. Sony put Nintendo in the place that Nintendo put Sega in which is a first party centric console. Nintendo early mid 90s era woud've had great progress with first, second and third party.
Wii-like success is great for first party but a shallow cash grab unless all games were casualized and had Just Dance like sales. Because Nintendo stopped being a gamer console it told the market that only casualized first and third party games and Nintendo core first party could survive because without those gimmicky games it doesnt commit the consumer base to loyalty. They will buy a handful of games and thats it.
