| Arius Dion said: When Nintendo is on their game, they can support a console single handed. They don't need thirds. The other Console makers aren't game companies therefore, they are entirely reliant on third parties. This is no more evident than last gen. Third Parties actually fucked over Sega too (though Sega's boneheaded decisions contributed greatly to their downfall) But Sega was similar to Nintendo in that they were dedicated hardware/software makers. This isn't what thirds want. They want leverage. M$ lack of a first party, and Sony's lack of a substantial first party is ideal for them. |
Naw you only got half of it right. Truth is 3rd parties were never big on Sega especially Japanese publishers which is ironic. SNES got WAY better support than Genesis did.
ANd frankly this whole 3rd parties want leverage argument is just based on paranoid fanboyism. 3rd parties dont care that a first party title does better. Lets not be silly. Halo moves big numbers thats not stopping anyone from putting games on xbox. 3rd parties just want systems they can sell there games on, that simply isnt the WIi u right now.
