And yet the weak console has all the best exclusive games right and most of the stuff on xb1 and ps4 isn't exclusive to them and is on PC. The Wii U is different and has something different to offer. If it was the same power as the PS4, it still wouldn't sell and 3rd parties still wouldn't buy it. If Nintendo start peddling to 3rd parties, then they may as well give up and not be Nintendo anymore. Nintendo always have been and always will be the "other" console. If there were 15 consoles, they would all be the same, and Nintendo would still be "other" one, through good sales and bad. Why people can't understand that is beyond me, and why people who "hate" Nintendo, and "love" some other console, keep repeating themselves is pointless. They bought a console like a PS4 and XB1 because that's what they like. Why do they want a 3rd choice of the same?

If it has the best games why it isn't selling? We need a reason. You aren't giving me a reason. I gave you an argument, you can counter it with another argument that can even make me change my mind. You aren't giving a reason to why people buy PS4s and X1s. They just buy because they like them and hate Nintendo? No. Nintendo is doing something very wrong. 3rd parties won't support Nintendo? Nintendo is doing something very wrong.

The lack of 3rd party games is Nintendo's fault. They treated 3rd parties terribly during the NES/SNES era, so they happily jumped to PS1 looking for a brighter day. And Nintendo never did anything to regain them. MS and Sony made consoles that 3rd parties liked, Nintendo didn't. Having all 3rd party games won't make Nintendo stop being Nintendo. Right now we have:

- This is the Wii U. It plays Mario, Pokemon and Zelda. But you can't play GTA and CoD.

It could be:

- This is the Wii U. It plays Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, GTA and CoD.

Nintendo highest selling 1st party titles coupled with the highest selling 3rd parties. Why is it bad? It looks awesome.

Being the "other" console just made them be absolutely onslaughed 3 times (N64, GC, Wii U) and win once (supposing PS360 can't reach 100M). It isn't the best win/lose ratio. They aren't doing good in home console.

And the bolded is wrong. NES had all 3rd party games and most were exclusive. SMS was the "other". SNES had most 3rd party games and Genesis had just some of them and were the "other" console. Ninty won both gens.


its way harder to sale 3rd party gaes on nintendo systems because nintendo themself sales shitloads of games. thats the main ifference between the wii u and the ps4/xbone.   even if the wii u just sales 15m and the ps4 80m, nintendo will still sale more games...
