Why Nintendo shouldn't suck up to third parties

Nintendo games sell for only 2 reasons:

1) Nostalgia for the gamers of old days

2) Toddlers (nah just kidding, more like 12 year olds)

3) They have been around for a looooong time, of course their games have altogether racked up a lot of sales in all these decades.

The second is the same reason why COD sells so much. Kids are many, and their parents have to give up to their demands. Adults are more calculative when they are spending money for themselves.

That also means that COD is among the very best games by your logic.

They are but they still win as the best games. By the way those two reasons you just gave are your opinion  too, there is no careful analysis or data that can back up those two statements.

Super Mario Brothers (NES) isn't sellling anymore. Games sold 30 years ago don't keep on selling up to this day (ar at least they aren't being tracked anymore).

Where exactly do they win as best games? Maybe at Eurogamer, but anywhere else, good luck finding such a place.

If you're talking strictly about 21st century games, Rockstar North, Infinity Ward, Treyarch, Bungie, Polyphony Digital and BioWare's games typically outsell Nintendo's.

So by your logic they should be better games, right? That is, according to your logic of 'best games sell the most'.
