So, Nintendo Is The Only Gaming Company that Can Survive With No Third Party Support? If Not Who Else? (If each Company Had Their Own HW i mean)

You consider Wii U to be "surviving"?

It's still selling, therefore it is surviving.

If merely selling is surviving then all of them could "survive". - However, Wii u type sales is not viable for any of the 3 console makers including Nintendo- Yes they have the cash and assets to survive as a company despite the Wii u but they could not survive long term if Wii u type sales is all they accomplished going forward into future generations - eventually investors would just say why bother even before they ran out of money - Nintendo def has the strongest 1st party as a whole but they have in no way proved they are a viable company w out 3rd party help

Well, I did say "survive", not "thrive". For the moment, Nintendo and the Wii U are afloat and in no immediate danger of destruction.

And technically, didn't Wii sell almost entirely on its first party hits too?
