Exactly. This is what Happy isnt getting.

For a moment there, Nintendo forgot that hardware design is best served promoting their 1st party titles.

The conflict between Iwata's apparent need to get 3rd parties on board who like standard, relatively unchaging hardware and Nintendo's own visions of having a new hardware revolution for the benefit of their 1st party titles is what's screwing them over right now. 

Sometimes I just wish that Nintendo just focuses on making a console a full 1st party powerhouse. That's what brought 3rd party support to the 3DS eventually.

 


In terms of tactics that makes complete sense, but at the same time third parties never respected the Wii. They saw it as a gimmicky cash grab and went in like wolves. The thing about Nintendo though is they dont realize without major gimmicks their best sales in their heyday was with third parties draped around their first party no different than what Sony and MS are doing today. The difference is Sony added greater multimedia and greater capabilties to the mix, whilst MS a generation later added proper online.
