it needs 3rd parties and i'll tell you why...

...nintendo games aren't that good and lack universal appeal. so long as the console only plays nintendo games will will continue to draw in the same 10 million nintendo fans and no one else. diversity in lineup is what is needed to bring in diversity in consumer and therefore a reasonable sized userbase.


Not entirely true, I can se 20M but not 10. Remember that Wii U lacks many Nintendo IP's like a real Zelda game, a real 3D Mario game, Fire Emblem, Luigi Mansion, F-Zero, Metroid, etc.

even at 20 million,.. if NX really is this whole fusion idea then wiiU plus 3DS is 60 million right now.  that is massive contraction and i don't think nintendo can stay finacially viable on that sized userbase.  i've got to imagine that most wiiU owners also have a 3DS so losing that double sale is a lot of lost revenue.

 

and wiiU doesn't have those games because nintendo developers can't make games fast enough.  even if you combined the 3DS and wiiU library it's not a lineup free of droughts.
