you are talking about a generation where ps2 had most third party support exclusive. playstation clearly owned the home market back then, it sold like 155 million compared to 45 million for xb/GC, and even then xbox being powerful and easy to develop for gave it decent thirdparty support, Microsoft continued with that strategy, and eventually got all major third party's on board, while nintendo went blue ocean and wasn't really interested in competing with ps3/360. the hardware wasn't made to get third party support, and thats why it mostly didnt, despite selling like crazy, and being the market leader.
