| Ail said: Nintendo has somewhat failed so far in providing any third party title any kind of significant advertising. Maybe that will change, but Sony and MSFT have stepped up to the plate and contributed to some marketing of their third parties support...( mainly to fight each others but end result was games from third parties received extra marketing). |
Nintendo already gives a lot to third parties... The biggest userbase, the smallest development budgets.
I don't think Nintendo should give them money so that they can make some more money, although some free advertising on the Nintendo Channel would be a good idea (there's a video of PES 2008 there already). Most publishers are big enough to be able to advertise their own games, which is what they should do using part of the money they save by developing on the Wii.
Microsoft and Sony need to pay off third parties because they have almost no other way of differentiating themselves from each other. Nintendo doesn't have this problem, nor do they really need to moneyhat 3rd parties to be successful.
