 I'm sure most everyone has heard about the Oddworld guy's commentary (Nintendo killed Iwata!). 

 

Ignoring most of it, I want to focus on a specific point he made: that Nintendo makes it so that third parties can't do well. Branching off it, does the console maker in general have issues if a game fails to sell. 

 

For example....

 

Is it Nintendo's fault if third party titles don't sell well on their system?

 

Is it Microsoft's fault that Japanese originating games like JRPG's don't sell well on their systems?

 

Was it Sony's fault that PS3 titles had a long history of underperforming? 

 

Figure it might be worth expanding this beyond Nintendo because people debate Nintendo's blame with third party issues more than some people debate the bible at this point.



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?
