It's not true. It's a cycle. How is that so hard for everyone to understand after we had the clear example of the n64 and gamecube?
Nintendo's consoles do well on 1st party games first and foremost, but 3rd party games sceal the deal for buyers who also have different tastes. 100m people bought a Wii, 35m bought Mario kart. So not everyone wants Mario Kart. The same goes for other 1st party games.
The DS is another great example. Yes, NSMB helped launch the DS into great sales, but 3rd party games such as DQ, Layton, Atlus games, Megaman and many others sceal the system's success making the library much more robust.
Anyways @OP. I think Bethesda has nothing to say, since they never supported Nintendo they should just shut the hell up. As for the others, very fair statement by Activision.
@fatslob. Why would Ubisoft want to make games for the U? Because MONEY... If they can establish a consumerbase early on, they can make much more money over the course of the gen. This has been their strategy since the PS2 and GC days.
