I still think that in the long run Nintendo needed / needs to do better to court 3rd parties. Their 1st party games on top of that would make for a great system.
Not having 3rd parties is what caused them to flounder toward the end of the Wii cycle (lack of games). That floundering (bad taste in their mouths) is what is most likely causing many people to wait to buy, or worse, never buy the Wii U.
And don't start with the "Nintendo has survived without 3rd parties since..." crap. The industry is changing faster than ever. Waaaay too many 3rd party games that people want that Nintendo either doesn't have, gets late, or gets a way to watered down port of.
This all coming from a big Nintendo fan. I really do like their games.
