I may not necessarily agree with the author's reasons, but you seriously cannot think that 1st parties and 3rd parties are the same thing.  First party games for Nintendo have always been their selling points.  Even if the Wii U had ALL the exclusives on the other consoles, they still wouldn't have had as much of an effect as Nintendo's own first party games in terms of system selling.

Your second point, the 3D Mario and Mario Kart games were technically not games we knew anything about except for the fact that they said "yeah, we will be showing them."  Almost everyone knew they would be coming at some point, they just confirmed the showing at e3.

Clearly you always have something to say, even when it doesn't make much sense to make the comments.

Sorry but the OP was claiming victory for Nintendo at E3, so I do reckon I'm free to disagree with that.

1st or 3rd party, game is a game and each person puts a different costumer value in it. WiiU can have more exclusives of its own than PS4/X1, every 3rd party game that doesn't come to WiiU is a reason for gamers not to pick WiiU. PS4/X1 have a greater advantage in having less exclusives but varied, innovating and technologically superior 3rd party games than WiiU with more exclusives but less variety, lack of innovation and a lesser number of games overall.


"Single-Player-Asymmetric-Gaming" with enough 3rd party exclusives like Bayonetta 2 & Sonic Lost World & The Wonderful 101 & Lego City Undercover & ZombiU 2 & etc. etc. etc. will do in combination with 1st Party games like Mario Kart 8 & others.

The 3DS has the Japanese 3rd parties exclusively in the bag. And I can see games like Mass Effect & Darksiders & so fort still coming to the Wii U as well as PS4/ONE. If the PS4 & ONE gets other games that won't come to Wii U then it won't affect sells that much after seeing the Wii do as well as it did.

I don't know what PS4 & ONE is suppose to do I sales with such games as Call of Duty Ghosts that they haven't been doing with PS3 & 360 in the last Gen. I can see PS4 & ONE sells being very similar in lifetime sales as PS3 & 360. But the Wii U looks like it will have the same kind consumers as Wii, plus more.
