First bold: You seem to think that since Sony and Xbox pretty much live and die on 3rd party support at this point that Nintendo needs to do the same to survive.

no i don't but PLAYSTATION and XBOX still need 3rd party very very much

The PlayStation and Xbox platforms cannot survive at this point without 3rd parties...

yes as PS4 without 3rd party wud do 40-50m at max and XBONE will do 20-30m at max

also 3rd party supporting other console willeven further damage PLAYSTATION and XBOX sales and after sometime outright kill the brands

Their success is highly dependant on them. Nintendo on the otherhand historically has had to.

that means nothing and especially today

also before Wii,Nintendo did depend alot on third party but nowhere near PLAYSTATTION and XBOX

and especially in today's world with ANDROID,APPLE,SONY,MICROSOFT..........they have no chance

Clearly Nintendo overestimated the success they thought they would have with the 3ds/WiiU.

not really as Wii was clearly an outright fad and helped BIG Time by PS3 bombing and even that failed in the end of Wii's life

3DS was mainly touted becuase DS success but Gameboy wasn't as succesful and PSP failed and also touchscreen tech coolness helped it a bit.Also Apple and Android success meant 3DS wan't gonna be anywhere near DS

I don't think even Nintendo believed that but i wouldn't be suprised as Nintendo has in the past foolishly believed in its consoles and success can easily make a company arrogant

Who know's how they'll respond... NX could be another financial failure, or a huge success. We simply don't know enough to assume anything at this point.

NX acutally seems to be somthing BIG as Nintendo seems to have some sense kicked into them BIG Time but we will have to see with Nintendo's past and SONY dominance and APPLE,GOOGLE,SAMSUNG,ANDROID entering the market and XBOX also dominating hardcore gamers

Second bold: Nope people who want to play the GTA brand will simply migrate to the platform it's available on. Didn't the 7th generation show that people have no problem migrating to the consoles that provides the games they want to play? No brand is immortal and anyone of them can rise and fall at any given time.

not really,thats only if both consoles are equally successfull and XBONE seems to be nowhere near that and looks like will be even fursther behind in 2 years and as much as 4:1 behind PS4 when generation 8 comes to an end

also PS3 bombing had alot to do with people migrating to X360

its stupid that you are comparing both the generations as they are completely different

no brand is immortal even APPLE or EXXON MOBILE

but when they are dominating,its hard to believe that they cannot shake the earth
