Nintendo will not thrive on third-party, regardless what they do. EA announced to support WiiU big time - and what happened? WiiU got pretty good support from Activision and Ubisoft at the start - and what happened? No, getting third-party with their usual multiplats on board is no solution (at least not alone). Special cooperations like Hyrule Warriors proved to be much more successful. |
Context. No one wanted to play those 3rd party games on the Wii U when the system added nothing of percieved value (A map on the Gamepad is not percieved value), infact in same cases performance were reportedly worse on Wii U. Again the hardware was at fault.
Paying attention to history you'll see that Nintendo home consoles haver never thrived off 1st party alone. That is a myth constantly being perpetuated by Nintendo fans for some strange reason. They make profit but the closest we have to that was the wii which had TONS of third party support, but mostly sold of off wii sports, Wii fit and MK wii.
