Ya its closer but its still pretty far also I wouldn't think of it as the hardware attracts third parties, Nintendo should be going to these third parties and getting them to develop games for them, Sony actually went a step beyond that and went to these third parties when developing the system.  This isn't like the days of the NES when developers had to go through rigarous requirements to get their games on Nintendo's console, they will just pass up Nintendo and go to the competition, Nintendo has to be the one to make the first step.


Nintendo did go to third parties. That's why the Wii U gamepad has clickable thumbsticks and they got a launch exclusive out of Ubisoft. Also accounts for EA's "unprecedented support" right up until EA demanded more than Nintendo was willing to give.

That's how it is with big publishers. They demand every concession and if you won't satisfy their terms, other platforms will. Is the best future for Nintendo the one where it's EA's puppet?
