Thats bullshit. Subtract third party sales from Nintendos previous generation before they lost them (SNES vs N64 or even GC) and you have the truer number to what Nintendo would get if they had proper third party added to their ranks. Essentially they will sell half or a little more than half of what they could've gained (roughly 35 to 40 million more than they currently have as a prime first party.). Its always been up to Nintendo because they put themselves in that position. You can act like its a position they don't deserve, but it truly is.

3rd parties from back then are very different from the third parties of today that are all about the West's pursuit of cinematic experiences and that just jives more with Sony and MS' output.

 And when I look at the software sales of SNES to GC/N64/Wii, I see mostly Nintendo dominating the lists with third party games here and there, not so different from back then, except Western style games are now the core of the industry.

They've made alot of mistakes, like losing Final Fantasy, but I, for one, don't see it as a bad thing that they haven't largely changed their software philosophy to suit Western ideals so they can pull in third parties because by now I think it's obvious hardware power isn't what's stopping them from getting the same support as MS and Sony.

Like I've said many times before, what they need to focus on is putting out first party games, collaborating with third parties for exclusives like Bayonetta/ SMT x FE/Lego City, keep making their platforms attractive for indies, market their products well and get whatever third party multiplats they can.
