Of course they would fail to garner third party support. Their console didn't sell so third parties pulled out. That much should have been implied in my previous post.... Nintendo started out with a lot of third party support this generation, but they lost it all when no one bought the console. Not just rehashes of old games either, original franchises that pushed the boundaries of their genre (ZombiU, Lego City, Wonderful 101), they also paid for sequels to games which were all but dead (Bayonetta 2) |
fair enough now how does your post address
"either one of them could reciprocate that investment a lot better than Sony can"
considering that microsoft has a weaker console at the same price and nintendo hasn't really supported the wii u any better than sony or microsoft have supported their consoles in the same timespan ( which feeds into a bigger problem of overall game support since they have failed at garnering third party support )
if nintendo wanted more 3rd party support they could buy it as you've pointed out compared to sony they are in a great position financially but obviously that isn't changing anything and the same goes for microsoft from the hardware perspective

lol what is the point that is being made here? that sony is only funding rehashes of old games? while nintendo is the last source of originality in video games? ZombiU, Lego City, Wonderful 101 pushed the boundaries of their genre?
lol usually i'd try to address points with counterpoints but at this point i don't really believe you're being serious lol
