Nintendo could have spent 10 times the amount of money making the console more powerful, and still wouldnt have guaranteed 3rd party support, then they would be in the shit selling the console for huge losses. Nintendo make hardware for themselves, to sell their games on, to maximize as much profits as possible. They are a business not a charity, if 3rd parties want to make some money then start innovating, compensate for the lack of specs by coming up with cool gameplay ideas and utilization of the gamepad....you can have AAA games on weaker hardware you know, its not always about graphics and specs.
