Lol, that just shows how awful Nintendo's marketing is, not that the mass market isn't interested in Nintendo's games.

And that's a sales chart, not a scientific study. A sales chart of Nintendo's consoles btw. We're talking about their games, not their consoles.

If Nintendo ever decides to go third party they'd easily be the biggest third party developer in the world. But I guess the mass market doesn't care?

 

If they can't sell their new consoles, they can't sell their new games.

The constant mantra on here is, games sell consoles.

Ergo, if their games aren't selling their new consoles, people clearly don't want their new games...

As for Nintendo going third party, not necessarily. SEGA shows that third party can just show diminished status leading to lower quality leading to irrelevance. 

PS4 proves otherwise. Most of its games are cross-gen or remasters of last gen games (will change in the future of course)
It's entirely possible to not be interested in Nintendo's consoles, but still be interested in their games. Besides, Nintendo's consoles don't have third party support which is why a lot of people skip them. That has nothing to do with their first party line up not being up to snuff. Not everyone is prepared to purchase a €300 console just to play Nintendo games. But if Nintendo was third paqrty they could just buy their games on their console of choice. This would save them €300 (6 games).

Nintendo isn't Sega, so that last sentence is irrelevant.
