3rd parties would never support it.

They cant find out how to sell games on them. Why? Cause the first party offering is too strong.


Nintendo would have to market more towards teenagers/adults to give the system credibility with older consumers. Preferably too Nintendo should take the lead and create a franchise for themselves that is of AAA quality and highly marketable for the older audience. 

Then third parties will fall in line. They're not going to waste their time on a console heavily skewed towards young kids or soccer moms when most/all their big franchises are aimed at teenagers/adults. 

The N64 had a *ton* of first person shooters? Why? Because GoldenEye was a huge success on the platform. Third parties look at whats selling on a console, you can't just crap out a console and say "OK, make games for us now" when you have no sense of demographics. 

Nintendo needs to stop playing the victim card ... they had every oppurtunity to do things right this gen with minimal investment but continue to treat the market like its 1991 still. I mean heck they didn't even have to do everything right this game ... they could've still probably finished an easy second place looking at the mistakes MS has made, but Nintendo just chose to take it to another level of stupidity with market alienating choice after choice.
