I understand and totally agree with you IF we look at those individual factors taken in isolation. However when combined, it does not really paint a pretty picture. Nintendo's relations with 3rd party developers has been terrible since at least the Nintendo 64(and only just bad on the SNES) when they were charging exorbitant royalties for publishers per cartridge.

The Wii sold well over 100 million units, and yet, did not see a single mainline Final Fantasy. So the notion of "if the NX sells, it will get it" is far from being an absolute truth. I could understand if you said "if the NX is powerful enough and garners a large enough userbase, then it will get it", but you didn't say that :P

But hey, I could be very wrong on this one, just my opinion on the subject.


Hey, you understood what I meant!

Just as a side note: SNES had great third party support.Many of the best games of all time comes from it, and many are not from Nintendo.

The SNES did get good third party support but I could see Nintendo's treatment of some third parties being more restrictive compared to Sega especially in terms of cersoring mature content. Definitely a great console! I miss old-school Rare so dearly :(
