Again, I agree. Nintendo needs to walk away from catering to any 3rd parties or "core" gamers. They need to remain on the low cost, high quality, first party centric path.

isnt that what they essentially did with GC and a lesser extent N64? Those didnt turn out too hot either.

No,. N64/GC were traditional consoles that attempted to have great hardware, strong 3rd party support etc.

Wii was where they didn't push specs and focused on first party first. Assumed 3rd parties would be logical and support Wii when it proved itself.

Then WiiU was thinking well we now have a large userbase, so now we return to focus on core and 3rd party. That failed... again.

I'm deliberately not going into a lot of detail here... Rol has preached this since day one and I finally jumped on board kicking and screaming out of selfish reasons.

see this is where i think you are wrong. Did ninty NOT focus on 1st party for GC and N64? I dont see how they did that with Wii and not the others. Especially considering they havent put anything on the console in almost 2 years. did they make MORe games for Wii than N64 or GC? Better? and 3rd parties were logical and supported the Wii to say anything otherwise is factual wrong. Those games we call shovelware is support no matter how much you want to pretend they exist. 3rd parties did great by Wii, they put games that people wanted to play on the system. The numbers speak for itself. So it didnt get Assassins Creed, it was never going to get Assassins Creed or GTA or whatever.
