A single company being able to on average release a new game every 3-4 weeks is not bad software output in anyway and yes Nintendo handhelds have always had excellent support from Japanese 3rd parties, just because they dont get 100% of games doesnt mean they have bad support.

Nintendo games+strong Japanese 3rd party support+family friendly western titles+the occasional AAA western title would easily give Nintendo's unified console/handheld a few games per month which is more than enough to support the console.

Im not saying Nintendo shouldnt allow western 3rd parties on there platforms but they also shouldnt go out of there way to cater to them since there is a huge history of these games no selling very well on Nintendo platforms.


How many of those games are AAA quality again? Exactly. A console can't and isn't triving on what Nintendo is putting out. What you are talking about isn't enough. It wouldn't be enough for literally any console ever. "The occasional AAA western title" isn't enough.

Every single game has to be AAA quality?

Im pretty sure 3DS has sold over 40m in a little over 3 years due to Nintendo games, Japanese 3rd parties and family friendly western titles. When was the last time AAA western games were the driving force of any Nintendo platform? Oh ya never in there 30 or so years as a hardware manufacturer.
