Exactly. Peoples logic is backwards. Nintendo needs to gain the trust of third party that they can get their userbase to enjoy third party on their platform. When maturity sets in, people cannot walk around this logic.

The logic isnt backwards, if someone is a fan of and owns a PS/XB than Nintendo getting the same games as them is not going to cause these people to want a Nintendo console........they will simply continue to play those games on the console they already own.

On the other hand, if a Nintendo device offers hundreds of games not found on other devices than the potential for PS/XB gamers getting one as a secondary device increases as well as people who arent interested in what PS/XB have to offer.

True fans of Nintendo in the past were no different than the Xbox and Playstation crowd. When they had little formidable competition Nintendo had two clean generatons with an overabundance of third party support no different than the Playstation and people bought third party in adequate numbers until the Playstation came along and third parties sided with whom they considered to be the clearer mind at the time. Nintendo has always had a bad reputation with third party because of their one sided demands. Nintendo has a lot to make up to old fans and needs to create a vision of sustainability to new fans.  

Asking for unique third party versions of multiplats is not a bad thing, but that comes after you've satisfied and normalized third party's existence on the platform. Nintendo has never completed the first step. Nintendo has had unique third party on their platform and it has not done as well as they would hope outside of Just Stance and the Wii U titles which sold nowhere near the competition. 

The whole point of having third party is so nintendo can solifiy their base so they dont have to look at the competition. Third party supplies alternative games to what they normally offer and it sweetens to deal for anyone who plans on gaming nintendo only but in the past might have been wooed over by sony or microsoft.

Once more....they should not put the cart before the horse when it comes to priorities. This has to be done with precision. Showing up with a new platform halfway through a Sony/ Microsoft war isnt helping either. They must tread lightly.
