I think a large portion of the third party issue is due to demographics though. Hence why third party games were more prevelant and generally sold better on the Xbox than the Cube, despite similar power/ install bases.

I think format issues were perhaps a more likely reason. Just like how third parties first started leaving Nintendo due to the latter's insistence on sticking with carts in the fifth generation, Nintendo's proprietary miniDVD-based format, which could hold only a third as much data as a single-layer DVD, didn't win them back anybody else. If Nintendo had switched to CDs with the N64 and used ordinary DVDs for the GC, both systems likely would have been able to compete favorably with Sony as they would have never lost so much third-party support.

Imagine if the Nintendo 64 had Final Fantasy VII as planned. Good lord.
I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime.
The NX will be a 900p machine
