"Nintendo was also the company that has contributed the most for game exclusives. Making any title from a 1st party studio to be exclusive, demanding every 3rd party NES game to be exclusive in the 3rd gen, making many of the 5th gen multi-platform to release a “64” version and buying exclusive rights for many games like no other company has done before (maybe, and only maybe Microsoft could have done something similar)." |
Actually this is true.
Sega had to use a loophole to get many third party games on their consoles by porting the games themselves. That's why there are so many arcade games on the Master System and Genesis.
It's also the reason many third parties dropped Nintendo as soon as the Playstation started to receive popularity. It's the reason why Squaresoft didn't develop any games for any Nintendo consoles for around seven to eight years. It was only after Iwata patched things up with Squaresoft that they started developing for Nintendo again. Want proof? Google when Iwata became president of Nintendo and Squaresoft's first GBA game.
