I think if 3rd party devs made the kinds of games Nintendo fans actually like, it would be more likely to sell. They need to understand that Nintendo fans aren't like PS and XBox fans. You can't put your dark gritty shooter or your realistic racer on a Nintendo system and expect it to sell. I know we live in a port-dominated market today, but it's just not gonna work for Nintendo systems.
Why do you think Nintendo fans choose Nintendo systems in the first place? Nintendo provides a certain style that you just can't get anywhere else. So if you want to appeal to Nintendo fans, you have to mimic that style. Think color. Think fun yet simple. Emphasize gameplay over story. If Nintendo fans were interested in PS/Xbox-type games, they'd buy a PS/Xbox! Know your audience. Don't bring your Heavy Metal album to a Jazz festival and expect it to sell. Even if it's good.
My 2 cents.
