Nintendo is more or less the one to blame for their situation with 3rd parties. Not the nintendo fans. Not the 3rd parties.

Nintendo makes underpowered "home" consoles and markets heavily to housewives looking to buy their kid a toy. The majority of 3rd party cater to a different demographic entirely and games generally have to built with the weakest hardware in mind. Sony and MS do all sort of things to foster their relationships with third parties while nintendo has a "do it my way or hit the highway" type of attitude with 'em. Eventually, nintendo will have to diversify it's business interests and if we're lucky, stop being so stubborn.
