That shows 3rd party are important, even if some fans think otherwise, nintendo cant make profit on home console without 3rd party |
The real problem is the tablet control. It pushed away casuals.
More 3rd party isn't going to bring the masses to Wii U.

The entire PlayStation brand and its success is largely a result of Nintendos hardware stubborness and hostile attitude towards 3rd partys.
Ive never understood the 3rd partys mean nothing to Nintendo argument.

They don't mean anything. They had alot of 3rd party's on SNES which only sold 40 million and Gamecube which only sold 22 million. The Wii 's 3rd party games sold terribly except for Just Dance and a few others and Nintendo moved 100 million. The DS didnt have very much 3rd Party support either and they sold 150 million. Playstations entire model is different. Without the 3rd parties they may not have even sold 30 million PS3's, and I wish I was exagerating. Same goes for PS4 right now. Killzone and Knack combined have sold 1.75 million / COD and Fifa combined have sold 2.92 million. Flip to Wii U both Call of Dutys and Fifa combined have sold 490k / SM3DW has sold 1.63 million on its own.

If you insist. Future Nintendo devices with zero 3rd party support will do "wonders". The DS had tons of Japanese support. Same with the 3DS. Western developers largely ignore handheld gaming. Wii was a rare runaway success. Nintendo's own core games barely doubled what they achieved on GameCube despite the significantly larger install base. Furthermore the amount of third party games on the cube can't compare to that on the PS2 or even the XBox which saw a lot of PC only devs migrate.
I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime.
The NX will be a 900p machine
