Nintendo will never be "third party friendly"

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.

I don't doubt that you read that Nintendo wanted to have AAA third party titles on their console and that's something that is definitely true. However, that's not what is in question here. The point of contention is that Nintendo did so because they were envious of Sony's and Microsoft's profits.

Sony didn't make all that much money with the PS2. In fact, it's considerably less than Nintendo did with the Wii. You are seriously overestimating the revenue that is generated by royalty fees from third party software.

If we consider $5 per non first party game, I can guess ps360 didn't get any money back when you consider R&D + the loss they took on each console. it's worse for the 360 because of the 3rl.
