I think nintendo honestly sees 3rd party as competition for themselves. Why sell 1 game from the competition, and get 10%? of the cut. When you could sell them one of your own games, and get 100% of the profit. Thats why I pointed out, nintendo sees themselves as a software company. Sony and Microsoft, run their Xbox & playstation like they are hardware manufacturers (they live off of 3rd party cuts & service fee's).
This doesnt mean Nintendo dont want 3rd party on their systems, just they dont bother jumping through hoops the way Sony might. |
Bringing in 3rd parties will sell more hardware and having an inflated userbase from this will increase sales of the first party titles also. Along with 3rd party games printing you money for zero effort.
