Nope or at least not western ones, graphics were never the issue it was just an excuse they moved onto, the problem is that the way third parties themselves have approached Nintendo platforms has lead to the userbase mainly buying them exclusively for what comes from Nintendo themselves and the people who fall in this category have a very distinct taste in gaming. This means that the likes of COD and AC won't sell that well let alone every year because people aren't buying the platform for yearly installments, Rayman Legends on Wii U outsold both COD games on the same platform combined for reference.
This means third parties will always be reluctant no matter what, the second issue is business approach, Nintendo uses an approach where they make money in the long run on sales which is the opposite of the AAA craze most developers cling to as with the latter most sales are needed upfront to recover costs. This again is where userbase is an issue as they don't rush out to buy the games day 1 they buy them over time hence why first party games display long legs when it comes to sales.
The only third parties I can see being on board would eastern developers as Nintendo are indestructible in Japan and even with the Wii U not being handled properly they're on a tear over there, if NX has a portable variant that's also executed right then it's no contest third parties will be on board. |
thats an odd game to compare them too, as its not like Rayman did gangbusters on Wii U anyway. It was still outsold by the PS3 AND PS4 version. Sure we could use the excuse that PS3 has a bigger user base(not what people were saying when they swore teh Wii U one would sell the best since thats the "definitive" version but i digress). But whats PS4 excuse? it came out later.

Why does it need to outsell all other versions? Why does everything have to be number 1? The game sold more than the Xbox/Vita versions and basically tied with the PS3 version while not being all that far behind the PS4 version. It shows that a game like Rayman can be a success on Nintendo platforms because it appeals to the people who play Nintendo games like Mario, Yoshi, Kirby, Donkey Kong. U want to have successful games on a platform than release games that appeal to the fan base of said platform.
