So you've only proven that Nintendo SW sells good, how does that end the argument of people wanting Nintendo to go 3rd party and sell those SW on bigger platforms like the 165 million HD twin install base or the much bigger mobile platforms? Wii U sells terrible, 3DS tracks lower than DS and probably has its peak year already. Yet lets forget about the HW problem and focus on the good times when all was well with the world.


Take out the RoD'd consoles and watch that number coming down. 

PS3 sold terrible, compared to PS2. 

Vita, incredibly, tracks even lower than PSP, which got butt rapped by DS.

So by your rreasoning, Sony should go 3rd party before Nintendo =) 

But no, let's ignore the present and remind the good old times when Sony had dominant platforms.

You miss the point. There are more PS360s owners than Wii or Wii U owners. Look at the SW sold on those consoles vs Nintendo consoles, in the past year we get record breaking releases like TLOU and GTA V. Ninty SW sells good, thats the only thing you've proven. HW is not gonna do as good as Wii and DS. Both Wii U and 3DS will sell considerably less. Thats why people claim that Ninty should go 3rd party, not because of their past achievements, if you wanna live in the past thats your problem, Ninty isnt selling consoles in the past, they're selling in the present and the future doesnt look good, even for 3DS if its peaked already.

Whats bad about Nintendo going 3rd party anyway? Many HW problems people have with Nintendo will be solved. Online infrastructure will be better etc.
