The odds that most third parties are incompetent is actually pretty high. Whatever your console affiliation, anyone who follows gaming news should be able to pick out that most publishers in this industry are pretty myopic at most times and downright stupid at others.

The 3rd parties are all different, yet what do basically ALL 3rd parties on Nintendo consoles have in common? They're all on Nintendo consoles...Nintendo is the factor they all have in common. What supports this even further is that the tiniest minority have similar problems on Sony or Microsoft consoles.

I'm arguing from a corporate-cultural perspective. Basically the third parties (which in this conversation really means the western third parties. The Japanese have a very different approach to Wii U which seems to lead to less support overall, but better support when it actually arrives). The entrenched mindsets of the industry as a whole are the same or similar across the different Western third parties. No one is really thinking outside the box or pursuing a different strategy in any respect.

The mistakes are more or less the same across the board. The *outcomes* of the mistakes are what differ depending on what consoles we're talking about
