| RolStoppable said: Essentially, Nintendo doesn't get third party games because their first party games are too good and are therefore the first choice for consumers. However, if Nintendo reduced the quantity and/or quality of their output, then the hardware would sell notably worse which in turn would also mean that third party games can't sell in big numbers. Looks like it isn't in Nintendo's power to solve this problem. What would need to happen is that third parties step up their game and make their own offerings become the first choice for consumers. However, this requires serious effort, so it's unreasonable to expect it to happen. |
Or they could just entice gamers who normally buy multiplat to buy their console like the SNES era. The majority of the Playstation and XBox userbase are composed of them. LOL....just lure them for christ sakes. Microsoft did it...and they managed to weaken Sony for a generation (caused RROD but you get the picture). LOL :)
Before that can be fixed though, you have to fix the political problems between Nintendo and third party, because without them you cant get the games. Third is the strategy, much like what Microsoft did to increase their marketshare which caused them to plot down the Xbox 360's release a year ahead of Sony (thus launching without any competition while showing off a wealth of third party and enticing multiplat gamers to jump ship). Launching with Sony is not good for your health if you're in a battle for third party.
