Because the other platforms weren't viable... if they released for another company they couldn't release for Nintendo, so they would lose the lot bigger enviroment.

U just ignored what I said, there was no bigger environment.

SG-1000 released the exact same day as Famicom (NES) in Japan.

NES had shipped only 200,000 in the US when the competitors released.

If Nintendo's restrictions were so harmful to 3rd parties they wouldn't have supported Nintendo in the first place.


Nope, I haven't... give a valid reason then for a publisher to ignore SG-1000 and release on NES and be mandated to keep that game exclusive for 2 years with no monetary incentive besides you either do that or you leave... when PS was a strong alternative they left and never truly came back. How is that for 3rd party satisfaction for you? Or you think they don't release on Nintendo just to be mean?
