One could also argue your opinion plays into Nintendo's strategy of weaker hardware as well. The weaker the hardware the easier it is to develop for, giving a higher chance you produce a quality product in a timely fashion. It took probably around 4-5 years for most developers to start getting the best looking/functioning games last generation from the ps360. It took Nintendo and other developers about 1 to get the most out of the wii. Now I will say I think that they swung to low on power with the wii, but I do agree, to a certain degree, on their philosophy. A lot of early games in a generation end up being "practice runs" for the system and, although they end up selling pretty well, don't stand the test of time. Years later their sequels look and play insanely better. |
Stop making excuses for nintendo. They ignored third party and when they realized with the wii that Sony and Ms were making hand over first on third party they wanted to be he cool console too. Nintendo expects third party to dumb down their games when they aren't market leader and even in the event of last gen, the wii was only slightly more powerful than the gamecube. This exactly why epic gamea head didn't even want nintendo to use unreal 4. The wii u is nothing for them to learn and build upon with slightly above last gen tech. All they would learn about the console was limitation when themselves, ubisoft and otherw requested 8gb of ram from as far back as 2011. All third party is doing is porting their games....not creating it for he hardware nine times out of ten. As you can see assassin's creed unity, Witcher and batman won't be on last gen tech.

S.T.A.G.E., that reasoning is incredibly stupid even by your standards. Being envious of other companies' profits can't be a valid reason when the company in question (Nintendo) made multiple times more profit than the others combined.
Additionally, if third party royalties really generated such high profits, then Sony and Microsoft wouldn't charge extra for basic functionality like online multiplayer.

I stated that because I read it. Nintendo wished they could've had a thriving third party on their console like got a and a a a third party titles to boot. Nintendo had a falling out with third party after trying to court them. Anyone with half a brain knew epic, ubisoft and some others already laid out thearly requirements they required to run the next gen gamespecially they had in development. There is nothing stupid about what I am saying and it makes total sense.
MS and Sony make a good amount of money off of third party sales just like nintendo used to some twenty years ago. It's insane to even think about how much money Sony made with the ps2 until they screwed up with the ps3.
