Nope. Nintendo succeeds or fails on their own merits.
You're philosophy concludes that Nintendo needs 3rd parties to be successful, however, history has proven time and time it again that when Nintendo caters to 3rd parties they fail or at least don't make nearly as much money.
I love 3rd party games and continuously have argued that Nintendo has to make moves to get their games on Nintendo hardware so they can pwn the competition, however, even when Nintendo does attempt to do what it can for 3rd parties, it still fails and they lost games there is legitimately no reason for Nintendo not to have.
So I've given up on that argument and focused on the only constant. If Nintendo makes quality games that are clearly "Nintendo" games, they will succeed and I'll still be happy either way. I just may need to pick up another console at some point to play other games I want too. That or upgrade my PC. |
I only asked the question and never gave an opinion for or against the original Wii matching the Xbox 360 in terms of power. My opinion is like the current poll result, a 50/50 split between thinking its in some ways it would be good idea and in others ways a bad idea.

I meant the philosophy behind the premise of the question itself. Not your personal opinion on the matter. The only reason to match X360 power would be to get more 3rd party support... and so on.

You still wrongly assuming that my philosophy is that Nintendo desperately needs Third Parties to survive, which is actually quite the opposite of the way I think. As I generally think it better to rely of first party to sell your console than rely on the unpredictable and sometime traitorous nature of Third Party support.
There are other advantages to having a more high powered console Wii other than better Third Party support you know. Having a console on par with 360 could mean they could support the Wii console for a lot longer maybe even 5+ years. By then the world economy may be in better state to release expensive consumer goods and maybe even the Wii U could actual be fully portable Tablet console instead of been constrained to the home.
