@ChronotriggerJM: Retro says hi. Nintendo bought them.
And why would Nintendo buy third-party support, if everything is going good as it is? I mean, it didn't help Microsoft become market leader. Why would they snag some more titles? It wouldn't make them more profit, since they're very competent of producing games of their own.
And about ''Nintendo doesn't care about third-parties, or consumers in terms of functionality'': the biggest chunk of customers doesn't even want a dvd-player in their Wii, and they most certainly care for third-parties. They didn't make a console where developement costs surpass the 15 million regularly, where only the big names can mange to get some money, and they don't actually restrict their supporting third-parties in publishing on WiiWare, by not making them pay immense royalties.
