Lets not forget the huge android market and current eshop supporter devs.


No console has full third party support.

That said, Nintendo will create a culture for a new class of third parties.

Their new third party developers will look more like second party to Nintendo.

Nintendo knows that AAA budgets are going away of the dinosaur and is preparing for the crash.

Too many publisher and developers have financial issues, or have already been

bankrupted by the AAA business model.

So this will not include your big publishers like Ubisoft, EA, etc.

It doesnt mean that EA or Activision will not put games on future Nintendo consoles,

but I doubt Nintendo will woo them for full support.

 

And if Microsoft stays in the game, they will follow a similar model to Nintendo.
