To be fair, Nintendo is only big hardware company that has ever had this issue where even the most popular third party titles simply do not sell well, especially if those titles are offered on competitor platforms. It's become an established fact that the majority of people who buy Nintendo hardware only buy Nintendo software. Cant blame third parties when neither they nor Nintendo have any control over that. |
I disagree with this. While third parties have tougher competition on Nintendo systems because their games don't have to compete with Nintendo games (Nintendo being the biggest software name in games) I certainly wouldn't say its an established fact that Nintendo owners don't want to buy third party games. I would say thats the opposite of the case. The fact is that third party games haven't been selling well since the Wii because third parties haven't been putting their major games on Nintendo systems! Seems pretty obvious old ports or remasters or games that came out a year ago on other systems, or their major games made by second tier teams aren't gonna sell as well as their mainline AAA games made by their top teams. It has nothing to do with owners of Nintendo systems, it has to do with the lack of effort third parties have been putting into games on Nintendo systems for the past decade. If they did the same thing to xbox or ps4 games those would sell a lot less too!
