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.

Yeah...I'm sure you doubt that, which is why the PS4 and Xbox One came out and the Wii U was the most powerful console, Reggie was claiming to have the most powerful version COD on the news and the reporter remained skeptical rumors of the level of power of the newer consoles. Look it up. She wasnt swayed by him at all. 

Iwata quote from 2011 alluding regret with the lack of third party presence on the WIi and to remedy that on the 3DS:

"I now regret that we didn't tie up with someone outside the company to market the Wii. If we had done that, the fate of the Wii might have been different," said Iwata.

"Now I am aware that we should not rely too much on ourselves. You will see what I mean by this when we market the 3DS and the Wii in the future."

Iwata regrets the marketing? What? It wasnt just the marketing. It was the games provided. Everyone knows Nintendo has a decent relationship with third party on the 3DS so getting third party isn't an issue over there. Denial is a terrible thing.

It was around that point that Nintendo started actively courting third party, but failed to maintain relationships with my of them after revealing the relationships at E3 2012. You have the timeline....sift through it.

I don't talk about things I havent read.
