Why do people think that Nintendo could go or should go third-party?

Never had the greatest cases? Does everyone in this thread have memories like goldfishes?

NES, SNES, and Wii won their respecive generations.GC, N64 and Wii U did not. 50% is a bit more than never. And if you think N64 was mediocre, a lot of people disagree with you.

I know they won their generation. what i meant was that the Wii was the only one with God-like numbers.

 

It's not as though Nintendo is struggling everywhere. They're doing well in Japan. They are a Japanese company. I just think that they need to have some flexibility with their consoles when it comes to the US. 

 

The Eastern and Western market are extremely different. I think Nintendo needs to see that before advancing further.

I agree with that.When tetris became a phenomenon in eastern europe, Nintendo execs traveled to the soviet union to negotiate licencing the game for NES and GB. Yet they can't do the same when a swedsish guy makes minecraft. Even though they have it now, they should have jumped on that game early and now Microsoft owns the IP.

They really really should try to get the big open world games like GTA and skyrim on their platform as well. They need to have a feel for the western market and recognize key games.
