Sure we can, people just want to ignore it. From the jump Sony was a pleasure for 3rd parties to work with or at least MUCH easier to work with than Nintendo as evidenced by there treatment of 3rd parties in the NES/SNES era and to a lesser extent the N64 where they flat out refuse to listen to them. Sony listens, for the most part. 

Sony has proven themselves Ninty...meh. Even when SOny was floundering they opened to 3rd parties and asked how they could make it better, see they WORKED with those guys even sent some devs when a game wasnt working properly, something that Ninty wont do. So yes there is your answer its quite simple. Sony and MS are willing to put in the work where Nintendo isnt. But people will ignore that because it will put Ninty in a negative light

Are you able to post without the bolds? They're not needed.

People can understand something if you express it reasonably. And I think that what you're saying it possible, I just think it sounds overly simplistic.

What do you do about the fact that, many times, there is a conflict of interest between Nintendo and 3rd parties? Examples such as the EA and Nintendo fallout on Origin. Though I agree that Nintendo can certainly improve their approach with 3rd parties, I think the issue is also much deeper than that. There is a lack of trust on all sides, not just something that is Nintendo's doing.

its been expressed time and time again for years now. There is nothing possible about it. Sony has worked more closely with 3rd parties than Ninty has, these are facts. And the biggest factor in why one company's product is getting more support than another. IMHO thats more reasonble than some conspiracy against Nintendo.

As for Origin, IMHO thats heresay and ive yet to see concrete proof, it doesnt even make that much sense, its not like the other two use Origin and they still get support (if im wrong, correct me). Why would EA use that as an excuse to not support Ninty when they can just not support Ninty? And even if that were true thats only one company, hardly indication of a pattern.
