Its not some conspiracy, its just business. The question is why isn't Ninty buying 3rd party support like MS did in the early days of 360 when they raked in billions in profits with the Wii? What are they doing with that money? It doesn't seem like they spend it on more dev teams, so what is it being used for?


I agree with majority of your post. But Nintendo isn't a huge company like Sony or Microsoft. It's worth only 6 billion US $ whereas companies like Disney are worth $60 billion. They dont have the money to snatch every big multiplatfrom game so they rather focus on exclusive partnership like Platinum and Sega recently. Plus GTA isn't as huge as COD (which i believe Nintendo helps fund for for its own consoles).

Frequently paying for multiplatform game is a bad spending habit, especially with Nintendo's revent struggle with launching the 3DS and Wii U. Relying on first party and exclusive game is better until their revenue becomes mich biggrt than it is now.
