In a way I'd have to agree with the fact that it would sell less on a Ninty console.

But that's partly because of the Virtual console. If you had a choice between $10 to go towards a no-name indie vs Super Metroid or Super Mario World then yeah.

This is why I also feel Japan's VC is so much better than ours, because they don't really care about indies and can release Chrono Trigger and FFVI without worrying about overshadowing them. It seems like Nintendo on the western side has to intentionally hold back because of the whole indie approach they're going.

Hell even the Wii had a better VC at launch.

Wow that's a new one on me, an excuse for third party efforts selling poorly and for Nintendo's lacking VC selection all in one.

Indie sales on Steam must be in the dump because of all those cheap big name games that pop up in sales all the time. Hell I just bought Mirror's Edge, BF3, The Sims 3, Dead Space 1 and 3, Burnout Paradise and Medal of Honor all for $4.45. Indies on PC are screwed. 

i'm not blaming the 3rd parties I'm blaming Nintendo. And it's true if you look at the actual charts on the e-shop. VC destroys. 

EDIT:I just checked the 3DS charts and out of the all-time top 20, 10 are VC titles. 3rd party software downloadables that chart are Cut the Rope , Plants vs Zombies and some weird thing called Colors 3D.
