They all know if it fits the Nintendo audience it can be a go-er, but the vast majority of titles will sell far less on a Nintendo platform because they are either already playing the same games on a better specced format or they quite simply aren't interested in the games in the first place. |
I agree that 3rd parties only put games on Nintendo platforms that they know matches the kind of audience that Nintendo cultivates. If Nintendo wants all the multiplat games then they're going to have to work with 3rd parties. I don't mean in a way where they heavily fund their marketing campaigns but in a way where they change the western perception of their hardware from 'baby/casual platform' to something more neutral so that there isn't a social stigma towards owning a Nintendo console. It's one of the reasons why I'm constantly irritated with NOA because they do nothing but try to cultivate that 'baby/casual toy' stigma like they're competing with Mattel and Hasbro instead of Sony and Microsoft.
