Opinion: As earlier NX releases, as bigger are the chances it wont be what your waiting for.

 I mean the third parties, in practise, are Activision with Call of Duty and EA with it's sports games. All the other meaningful publishers are Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft.

 

Take Two? Bethesda? Warner Brothers?

 

Nope. In this "console wars" context we are talking only about the third parties that have the muscle to challenge the first parties, and can churn out multi-million selling games constantly, and on top of that, have a franchise with huge sales, not a single breakaway game every four or so years.

I mean, it doesn't matter if third parties have success on Nintendo's consoles or not, because all they do is whine how they can't compete or Nintendo not being friendly with them. Secondly, if the guys second-from-top have success, all you can hear how third parties can't have success on Nintendo's platform (because the top dogs didn't).

Only thing that changes is, that when Nintendo makes games that sell (consoles) and third parties "can't compete" they whine and publish games, and when Nintendo games are so bad they don't sell (consoles), and third parties "can compete" they whine and do not publish their games. And that's something that I've seen happening for more than 25 years already.

And let's face it: if you want to play the third parties' games, you buy a console that has the games you like.
