Seems like we two are the only ones with that mindset ^^

Well really though why wouldn't it be lol Nintendo won't lose anything if the 3rd party stuff doesn't sell well. They can only gain. It's the developers that lose out if sales are unsatisfactory

In fact it's totally the opposite, as this gen proves painfully for Nintendo. The only one who loses on 3rd party stuff not selling on N consoles is Nintendo. They lose the extra money Sony/MS get from every copy of 3rd party software sold and they lose in the eyes of gamers for not having games gamers want or having inferior versions of these games. This gen proves bluntly that 3rd parties don't need Nintendo at all. For all they care, Nintendo could leave the business, nothing would change for them. On the other hand the exodus of the 3rd parties caused Nintendo to suffer for 3 years now and puts their next home console under a big question mark. Ditching 3rd parties forces Nintendo to make a massively risky and innovative move just to stay in the business. Seeing Nintendo struggling to survive clearly shows who's boss and who needs who.
