Why are some Nintendo fans so opposed to going third party?

Vita doesn't even have 3rd party support. Obviously the 3DS is better :p. I was talking about the PS4 for example.

I haven't even bought a Wii U yet. Regardless, third-party support for the console will mean little to me. $60 is a tougher sell than $30-40. I expect to buy fewer than a half-dozen Wii U games at full price during its lifetime, most or all of them first-party. If I had to pay $100 more for the console, I would take longer to buy it and buy fewer games in the long run. Not good for me, not good for Nintendo, not good for the industry.
