You're original post mentioned that your list would provide a consistent stream of new releases. I responded thinking that the "consistent stream" you talk about is laughable at best for third party games that span over 2 consoles.

If those are the TYPES of games that the NX has to rely on for third party, then the NX is in trouble. I'm not arguing that the list you gave was inferior to anything, I'm arguing that the NX needs a larger list with larger titles that are not limited to indie games or TV/movie to video game adaptations.

That list is literally missing an entire demographic (say age 13 and up), and it is also missing critical games for its target demographic (minecraft and rocket league)

I would use that list as an indicator that Nintendo needs to change something up or risk another wii u failure

I'll try to explain to you what he's saying. The point isn't to attract 3rd parties, the point is making it easier for Ninty to support. Ninty had done a pretty good job supporting the 3DS but it could obviously be better if they could shift the Wiius resources towards it as well. The healthy stream of games would come from Ninty alone. Any 3rd party support is just gravy, especially the Japanese 3rd party support Ninty receives. WiiU like failure is practically impossible with just Pokemon alone.

That's all fine and dandy for Nintendo to make a console that makes it easier for Nintendo to put Nintendo games on Nintendo consoles. The problem is that there are less and less and less people that are willing to buy a Nintendo console for Nintendo games.

If Nintendo keeps serving their own, and not even bothering to try to have any type of appeal outside of diehard Nintendo fans that buy all of their stuff anywyas, they're doomed.
