I see that impertinence was right, you were able to add to the list. Now let's go through this.
First, you make the argument that it is a console manufacturer's responsibility to make third parties create compelling content. Wouldn't it be more logical to say that it is third parties' responsibility to create compelling content if they want to be successful as a business? If I took your statement at face value, it should also mean that Nintendo should be the one that should be praised whenever a good third party game is released for one of their systems, not the creators of said game. If Nintendo deserves the blame for bad third party games (according to you), it would only be fair to praise them for good third party games. Mega Man, Chrono Trigger, Turok 2, Resident Evil 4 and many others, we have to thank Nintendo for that.
The handheld market isn't all too different from the home console market. They have a lot of things in common. In my previous post I only asked you one thing: Why do you think that third parties find success on Nintendo handhelds. I take it that your answer is "Making games for the DS and 3DS isn't as expensive and doesn't involve nearly as much risk as making a high budget game for a console that doesn't sell." - Actually, that's just the closest of an answer you gave. You didn't really address my question.
The third paragraph enters mindboggling territory. First, tell me the names of those hardcore games that were barely breaking even. I am sure that 360 and PS3 owners were jealous of those Wii-exclusive games. Secondly, the statement about risk is laughable. We are coming off a generation where studio closures for failure on Sony and Microsoft consoles outnumber the same thing for Nintendo consoles by a factor of 25:1 (random guess, but you get the point).
The last paragraph is more or less a rant. Answer my question from the previous post, because that is a key to this discussion. Although it's possible that you believe you did answer my question, but in that case I worry about my own judgment.

The way you addressed my comment really makes it clear that you're extremly biased here. It seems that most of the points I made were met with ever more spin by someone who has a narrow view on anything Nintendo related. Your credo is most likely: "Nintendo is God. They can do no wrong!". -__-
But before I address any of that, tell me what you meant by "I see that impertinence was right, you were able to add to the list."

Where is He-Man the spoon-feeder when you need him?
In the interest of not perpetuating the vicious spoon-feeding cycle, here are clues:
impertinence = forum user
was right = subtle reference to statement made by said user
add to the list = less subtle paraphrasing of said statement
Bonus clue: It's in this thread
