You mean outside of like the 10-15 million selling third party titles on the 3DS? 

Maybe developers are the ones who are in the wrong here. 

The 3DS will outsell the every Sony system in Japan, even the PS2. It will outsell the Famicom, Super Famicom, and Wii. 

And that is right in the middle of the smartphone storm. 

And yet it still gets treated like a red headed step child in many instances when it comes to Japanese support. It's ridiculous really. 

If the Switch is treated the same way, fuck Japanese developers, they deserve the fate that's waiting for them which is their own greedy board of directors and investors turning on them and forcing them to work on smartphone games exclusively, because there is going to be no market left in Japan and the West is not going to be a savior for Japanese games with its weird art styles and effeminate characters and quirks either. 

Dude, seriously, make up your mind. Are you going to count western sales or not?

I've made my point pretty clear in this thread. 

If there are deficiencies in the Switch market reach ... third parties should HELP Nintendo. You know like kinda how they announce 10 games for the PS or XBox before they even sell 1 system.

Yeah that might be nice for Nintendo to have some help for a change and that might actually broaden the audience base, don't you think? 

You think there would be wide genre support on Sony or MS platforms if Sony and MS were left alone to support said systems with their own 1st/2nd party titles? 

If Japanese developers don't think they should invest in the Switch and they just want to keep on with business (bad business) as usual, then you know really, you can't stop someone from shooting themselves in the head I guess. Nintendo is trying to save the Japanese game market with Switch if the developers are too stupid to not to be able to see that, welp, they deserve what they're going to get. And I will be the first to laugh at Final Fantasy XVII ... for iOS/Android, because that will be the platform they deserve to work on.
