Yea, in this sad world you are axed as soon as you make a mistake, no matter how good your former performance was

that said, I think nintendo should have increased their development team much more during the boom years to make sure they can provide enough content for their hardware by themselves

now you could argue that 3rd parties are already whining that they have no chance on Nintendo platforms as it is, but in my opinion they would quickly flock to them again after Nintendo pushed a console to the top with their own efforts (see DS, 3DS)

This post makes me want to throw a Wii in the direction of your face. The truth hurts.

yes, I'm aware that it didn't work out with the Wii, although it showed huge dominance throughout a majority of the generation

and there is a good chance 3rd parties are more willing to back Nintendo's competitor at the start of comming console generations again, just because they are more likely to introduce higher spec'd tech which makes it easier for 3rd parties to wow the consumers with their software

that makes it all the more necessary for Nintendo to be able to produce enough content by themselves, yet personally I still see the chance of the success of a Nintendo home console being so attractive that 3rd parties won't be able to look the other way, although the Wii may be presented as´counter-evidence
