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

if knack out sells it I guess. I am not familiar with it's recent sucess or failure as it is dying in my own personal interest. the last mario game I have played was sunshine. all the while I stayed current on the pokkemon, zelda and smash bros series. thats how my opinion was formed.

Well Knack outselling it is certainly a very bad sign... But I wouldn't call it a dying franchise. Too bad you never played another Mario game after Sunshine though. I heard Sunshine sucked balls :/.
