to answer this question you may need a pole


I believe there is a lot of disingenuity in this topic. The fans can't be completely honest. Not all of them. There is emotions like anger and jealousy.

In my opinion, this question is no different than "Why do some games sell better on some consoles and not others?" and the answer is the same: Because some consoles have audiences who buy those games and not others.

If you didn't buy it and you are the audience that should have done so; then it's either you were mad/jealous, or the game didn't look very fun, or you own it on a different system for what ever reason.

Also, just to point out, people have budgets. Nintendo releases a game per month soooo... between WatchDogs and Mario 3DWorld..... yeee.

I agree. To further the point with the audience: Just Dance sold a lot of copies - and nearly all of them on Wii, despite the title being multiplat. So there a publisher made a game that catered to the audience of the Wii - and it sold. Let's take some more looks: Monster Hunter sells on 3DS, Ace Attorney sells on DS and 3DS, Yokai Watch sells on 3DS, Hyrule Warriors is one of the best selling Warriors titles since the PS2. So third party sells on Nintendo-platforms - if it keeps the audience in mind. The teenage boys and young adult males that the majority of the game industry is targeting isn't that strong on Nintendo.
