All the third party support in the world won't help Nintendo when simply no one wants to buy third party games on Nintendo consoles. And the only semi-successful third party genre on Wii U, toys-to-life, is shrinking and just had a major blow with Disney exiting the market.

Not sure what they can do with NX except hope for another miracle like Wii. If it's some kind of hybrid then it should definitely sell better than Wii U did, but then they'll be putting all their hardware eggs in one basket that will likely never see the success of N64+GBC, GCN+GBA, Wii+DS, or likely even 3DS+WIU

This isn't Nintendo's Falt they are 4 Generations without Third Party support (the Wii had a good in the start, but they dropped the console).

This is entirely Nintendo's fault. They have a long history of not just refusing to entice third parties, but actively making it more difficult for third parties while maintaining a holier than thou attitude and believing that third parties need them, not the other way around.

 

Coincidentally, the last time Nintendo had strong third party was when they had a near monopoly on console gaming, and even then they used anti-competitive practices to force third parties to either put their games on Nintendo platforms only, or not at all. Nintendo has never worked well with third parties. 

 

Despite being a bit of a console war video, this sums it up pretty damn well:

Nintendo makes some great games. But when it comes to business practices, they are the lowest of the low.
