So selling less hardware(handhelds) and paying for 3rd party support will some how net them more money? The more you know. Im also going to add according to many of people on these forums, the only reason Ninty sells so much software is because its all us ninty fans can get our hands on. There fore wouldn't Ninty also sell less games due to having more to choose from? Its also heavily abused up here that Ninty made as much money during the GC days as Sony did with PS2? Now ofcourse that was with the GBAs doing but still, if 3rd parties made Sony so much? How was Ninty able to match it? Now the point of all of this is to piss on how much 3rd parties are actually worth lol, Sony makes money on the licensing fees and then pisses it away advertising their games. Nothing but a vicious cycle Ninty wants no part of. I find it funny people think 3rd parties make so much money for Sony yet for some reason the grown men at Ninty want no part of it? Why would they not want to be rich like Sony? Obviously more things go on behind the scenes then we know. Its completely understandable why Sony and Microsoft kisses the asses of 3rd parties? They have no chance at being successful without them. See Vita, PSP, and Xbox although PSP is arguable, its success came from Sonys first handheld hype obviously. Every succussful plat Sony and Micro ever produced had tons of 3rd party support. Those platforms highlight what happens when they have comprosing 3rd party support. Ninty on the other hand has produced every handheld without major support and they were successful. Only Wii stands out as a successful home console without major 3rd party support but yet it ended up being their highest! In other words, Ninty has proven success without 3rds while micro and sony have not plain and simple.
