If so then don't expect much 3rd party support on the NX ... 

Nintendo basically has to bear the entire brunt of supporting both platforms ... 

The unified ecosystem approach won't work for 3rd parties since Nintendo are basically declaring that their next platforms won't be competitive with the current HD twins when it comes to power ...


Except ur completely forgetting about the Japanese 3rd party support that Nintendo's handhelds recieve, the strong and growing indie support for Nintendo and the kid/family friendly games that Nintendo devices get. Ya that leaves out the big AAA western titles but Nintendo doesn't really get those anyway so it's not really a loss.

The likes of Activision, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Warner Bros will be there at launch regardless, they won't miss out on having a game or two ready at launch in case the console ends up being a hit. Future support will depend on sales of such games. Publishers like Take-Two & Bethesda have never supported Nintendo so no reason to expect them to start.

Take Two released china town wars and i think gta 1 or 2 ona a gameboy
