To this day I dont think things have changed much.
Playstation still seems to be the one of the 3, that does the most for its 3rd party, and nintendo the least.
Ive said it before, Nintendo see themselves as a software company not a hardware/service one.
That means they view 3rd party more like competition, than as people that help them sell more hardware + services.
This explains why Nintendo dont do more for 3rd party.
