Nintendo isn't in the same position as Sony and Microsoft. When you buy a PlayStation and Xbox console, you know you'll get most of the big AAA games and many smaller games and indies. Nintendo consoles don't have the same catalog of games, and they miss most of the big third party games and many high quality indie games while the other two miss few of them.

So if you just have a Nintendo console you lack access to most games. The console is less worthy of money to the general audience because of this reason. Also their consoles have dated hardware, are overpriced and support for their consoles is withdrawn very quickly, even when they are successful like with Wii. Also, it makes more sense for them to go third party because their consoles don't sell well while PlayStation and Xbox consoles do.

The thing is that you and many others are ignoring 3DS which literally has hundreds of games that arent on other devices.

It's not only me who doesn't like Nintendos software output; it's the market. 

Pokemon X/Y-14.98 million

Mario Kart 7-13.56 million

Thats six 10+ million sellers, twelve 5+ million sellers, twenty-four 2+ million sellers, fourty-two 1+ million sellers with more to pass those milestones.

Ya people dont like Nintendos output.........

Its not the games its the system and their lack of support. I was talking only about the consoles. I think he is trying to say the same thing, that its their hardware that doesn't sell.

That makes it an even better decision for them to go third party, as its their hardware that inhibits sales of their games and Pokemon Go kinda shows us that. People don't like weak and unsupported hardware even if the software is good. PlayStation and Xbox have plenty of good games from both first party and third party developers and have a hige selection of games in a variety of genres. So people buy these consoles, while Wii U has too many platformers, a decent number of hack and slash games and is lacking in every other genre.

Also why are Nintendo fans against this? You'll still get Nintendo games but you won't have to buy seperate hardware to play those games as well as third party games, and these systems have more power so you can have a better experience too. Its a win win for them yet I see Nintendo fans complaining about it.
