The way EA & the game reviewers & the media talk about Nintendo, well, clearly Nintendo has never paid 3rd Parties nor anyone else any money for any support. Sony & Microsoft have clearly paid 3rd parties for games, but clearly Nintendo never gives money to pimps who try to whore out any titles. If Nintendo has shown us anything, it's that they just make the most interactive video game system they can and hope 3rd parties like it. Also Nintendo has shown that they never go to 3rd parties, but 3rd parties do sometimes go to them, like The Wonderful 101 & Bayonetta 2. If you decide to co-op a game with Nintendo it will be exclusive. Lego City Undercover is only on Wii U because of its capability to be 100% open world with that particular world. Nintendo let Lego know that the 3DS is capable of the same open world, but with 240p graphics, and then Lego decided to make a prequel to show off the Lego City world in 3D, like you are there in person because it's a Lego game. |
There is a big difference between paying 1 exclusive vs paying for multiple exclusives, reviewers, media.
Monster Hunter was hands down the biggest series on PSP in Japan, 25% of PSP owners own the most recent Monster Hunter. By stealing that series, Nintendo has greatly hurt Sony portables in Japan.
PS3 doesnt have any 1 series in Japan that clearly sold the system. In order for Wii to steal the PS3 audience, Nintendo would have had to buy Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid exclusivity. And in the west would have to buy Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty exclusivity.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
