Does Sony win every generation by default?

Evidence for Nintendo being capable for selling home consoles only with the 1st party is the Fluke and handhelds, excellent... let's just ignore N64 (where Sony was a newcomer and Sega was lost in HW nightmare) and GC (where are our fans) or even WiiU (the worst selling curve of any Nintendo HW besides the real floppy virtual boy, that also doesn't count as Nintendo not able to sell alone)... so we keep at Wii, that fell from the skycrapper after 3 years in the sky and handhelds that unfortunately are contracting.

You must be excited for my next thread, where I prove that Nintendo hits almost consistently 40% publisher ratio on all its consoles.

Excellent.

By that you mean 40% of all sw sold on any nintendo platform is 1st party? And you don't see that as basically the biggest reason for the lack of support of 3rd parties?

Of course I see that as the biggest reason for lack of 3rd party support. (and also the same reason why I argue that 3rd party support is secondary on Nintendo consoles, unlike Sony and MS, despite what fans consistently argue).

However it's far from being the reason why the Wii was a fluke and the portables are "just portables". Nintendo games are popular, and the U will sell well it is only a matter of time. On the U, Nintendo is at 70% publisher ratio. The thread will be posted next week, it was already completed last Tuesday.

So let me get it... 3rd party support is secondary for Nintendo platforms (I do agree with that). So how to explain that N64, GC and WiiU never done great on the LTD of HW (altough the N64 and GC had a healthy sale on the SW side for nintendo)???
