? Because they're Nintendo and their 1st party content always sells better than 3rd party content on their consoles. Generally, 3rd parties make sure people keep buying your console. Which is why the Wii U is selling so poorly. No 3rd party support= no console sales=less software sales. Mario Kart 8 has only sold 1/5 of what Mario Kart Wii sold. Nintendo's 1st party contnet always sells amazing, nobody is saying that it doesn't, but without Capcom, Square, and other 3rd parties to support consoles like the 3DS, Nintendo's install base will remain low/shrink. |
But nobody bought the Wii for multiplats, and no one bought the PS2 for games they could get elsewhere. It was exclusives.
Wii was the second best selling home console of all time and mostly sold first party titles only. Playstation 2 had a lot of exclusives due to an era where a game didn't have to sell 2 million to break even. Now that all of that is gone... It's a strange time with resolution gates, SJW censorships, and DRM scandals.
