Consoles can't survive on first party titles alone, regardless of who the manufacturer/developer is. Without third party to fill the gaps you end up with big gaps in the release calendar where your userbase grows increasingly impatient.

 

You may not like to admit it, but it's true, Neither Nintendo, Sony nor Microsoft can be successful on first party alone.

Nintendo released 25 games in 2016 on Wii U and 3DS. Now imagine if they only needed to support one system instead of two. That's quite a lot, isn't it?

25 compared to.. the 112 that had released on ps4 in just the january to may period alone? and the 135 that had released between january and may on xbox one in 2016, too?

the total game counts for ps4/xbo looks set to be above 350 each by the end of the year, too..
