| KungKras said: You were the one who started arguing :P I just don't like how you place so much emphasis on third party support when it historically isn't what made or broke a console. I mean, it helps a lot, but it's not the end all be all. Sega made sure that the Megadrive got a lot of games and became competitive though first party efforts, for example. |
Fine...subtract third party from Nintendo. Oh wait...it already happened and Nintendo without a clever gimmick cant get over 35 million since the N64 era. Nintendo fans have grown to live without third party or get their third party from another console. Nintendo's first and second generation 90 to 60 million consoles with third party. Without it they've only sold between 20M+ to 34 M consoles. That is a drastic difference. Sega took two Nintendo generations with one console to even remotely reach 40+ Million consoles sold. Why? It took a while for third party to get to Sega because nintendo had so much control.
