Nintendo's arrogance needs to stop

In the appeal and image department.  I mean just look at Infamous or Titanfall.  There are games on the wii u that may be better quality but they just don't appeal to certain people (ex dragon quest in America).  Nintendo just needs some variety in game genres that would help their appeal.  

Western development is a weakness that they have but it WASNT ALWAYS THIS WAY; Turok, Rogue Squadron, WWE No mercy, Goldeneye, Killer instinct, Conker, Banjo Kazooie, Perfect Dark, Jet force Gemini, Battle toads, etc ( now u see where Rare is sorely missed)

So then why did the N64, especially, sell worse than the SNES? Which did not have as close to as much western support. I fail to see how western development = more hardware sales.

There was a time where Japanese game developers were the most competent developers for consoles.  Now that PC and console specs can match closely American developers have become a big player in the console arena.  Being inclusive to only Japanese developers really is not what nintendo should be doing especially if it wants to capture a bigger western audience and bigger piece of the pie.  Nintendo after all is a business and businesses should thrive on sales and profit.

Don't get me wrong nintendo makes the best platformers and certain adventure games but should try to appeal to other types of gamers too.
