"If we had an infinite amount of resources, development resources, we might be able to satisfy any and all needs of game players and non-game players all over the world. But our resources are always limited," Iwata said. "The fact of the matter is that there are some areas of game creation that Nintendo is very good at, but there are other things that Nintendo is not very good at. There are huge numbers of fans of Nintendo software, but at the same time, those types of players still sometimes want to play something else on our platform. Because of that, we always need third parties to support us, in order to make our platform complete."

The only question I have is, why don't certain 3rd parties create their own fans on Nintendo's platform? I'm sure they can get a piece of the pie on Nintendo's market which is mostly isolated from the Hd twins market. Why can't 3rd parties compete with Nintendo on their own system's??
