Could 2015 be the Year of Xenoblade?

Well then we're recreating a Sega situation. Nintendo kept all third party deadlocked to their console and Sega was forced to go first party for almost every genre that they had. It only helped until the marketshare opened up so Nintendo couldnt keep third party couped up in the 90's.

To a degree, but Nintendo's first party is WAY more popular than Sega's was, and is looking to become much more diverse. 

It was, but if third party wasn't beholden to them we would never have known how much exposure Sega could've had by association by owning the console itself. People nine times out of ten tend to choose things based on what is easiest to focus on or relatable, which means the console they have. Less people were given the chance to go over to Sega because Nintendo had the third party (and even then their relationship with them wasnt great).  I think the highest sales in two generations that Sega could gain in was 40 M. Nintendo Sold 60+ and 50 million+ losing some marketshare to Sega before Sony arrived. Once Sony came their marketshare sunk down to half of what they had in their first generation.
