We can't compare software sales between multiple Nintendo consoles because Playstation didn't exist?  This is how you show a trend after all.  

To say that the N64-Wii didn't have 3rd party support is factually incorrect - perhaps you just didn't scroll down below the first 20 games....


Man that is how things were back then. Look at Sega look at Atari consoles. They also dominated by first party games for most part. You are comparing a different period in gaming all together. When Playsation launchedm Sony used its only strength  as a new hardware company to make 3rd parties shine. This is how 3rd parties have grown into mega giants on consoles. 

 

Yet even after playstation existed the top 20 on Nintendo consoles remained the same - hence a trend.  The 64 and GC all had successful 3rd party franchises - Tony Hawk, COD, Madden, Fifa, banjo, Star Wars, etc. but the top 20 is still dominated by Nintendo.  

To say that the WiiU's top 20 is dominated by Nintendo solely because there is no 3rd party support is just silly.  It's always been that way.


Offcourse it remained the same on Nintendo that is only logical. Playstation took over the 3rd parties they flurished on there. franchises that did not make the top 20 on Nintendo suddenly started making it in the top 20 on Playstation. Sony expanded gaming for 3rd parties on consoles.
