If you're referring to my post... that wasn't what I said. I said that the audience doesn't tolerate lower quality, on the whole, and that third parties that complain about their sales on Nintendo systems are almost always the same third parties that put out inferior products on Nintendo consoles. Meanwhile, when third parties put in the effort and make quality games on Nintendo systems, they typically get stronger sales as a result, compared with sales on other platforms, as described at the start of my post.
Examples of third party franchises getting strong results on Nintendo platforms include Resident Evil, LEGO Star Wars, Monster Hunter, Sonic, Tiger Woods PGA Tour, SoulCalibur, and Dragon Quest, to name a few. What I'm saying is, you bring the quality to a Nintendo platform, and you'll get the sales. The third parties that complain about Nintendo console owners only buying Nintendo games are the same ones that don't bring quality games to Nintendo consoles. You never hear Ubisoft Montpellier complain about Nintendo console owners only buying Nintendo games. You don't hear Sega complaining about it. You don't hear Warner Bros complaining about it.
It's not "only Nintendo fans know a quality game", it's "Nintendo fans are spoiled for choice in terms of quality games, thanks to Nintendo, so why would they bother buying your crappy game?"
