I love how all the alt accounts come out on Nintendo threads and accounts made specifically for a reply. That really shows how people are afraid of speaking their mind about nintendo on this site and the over use of the ban when a mod gets offended. I'm just gonna put my opinion here, Nintendo just screwed themselves again. Without software, even if they have software their done, that's, that, game over. Pity.

Did you read the article or just the title? the guy says that MS and Sony do this too,so did they screw themselves too or just Nintendo?

While you have a point, to be fair Xbox and PS have a history of selling consoles, good 3rd party relationships, and know to have relatively the same specs for their devices. 3rd parties are automatically going to support these systems. Nintendo is the one who (especially if they are going to do their own thing like with the Wii U) really needs to accommodate 3rd party developers. That said, indie devs aren't really the bread and butter of the industry either. They have got dev kits out (at least you would THINK) to Platinum Games, Tecmo Koei, Square-Enix, EA, Activision, ect.

Now for all intents and purposes I think we can safely assume they do, but with word that EA is only going to be in talks about what they will be offering in March it looks kind of grim too.
