Bought it for the Nintendo games, but my library is more than 50% third party, including such diverse titles as CoD:WaW, de Blob, Tiger Woods 10, No More Heroes, Zack & Wiki, The Conduit, Epic Mickey, and Little King's Story (to name but a few).

And across the various titles, one thing stood out - those third-party games that had real love and effort put into them were able to stand toe-to-toe with Nintendo's games... but such titles were few and far between. Some others showed great potential, but that potential was never realised (The Conduit is perhaps the most extreme example of this - a game with incredible potential, but never really achieving any of it). And some, I probably shouldn't have bought, but I had hopes that supporting the weaker attempts would encourage them to make better attempts (boy was I wrong - they used it to justify even weaker attempts, trying to get as much money out of as little love and effort as they could).
