Here's the reason why NES and SNES did so well with third party games... the packaging and marketing was mainstream. Since then (N64-Switch) Nintendo has done things differently on purpose for one reason or another and that has kept the mainstream core gamer away. With Gamecube, they released a bright purple lunch box with a weird controller and tiny discs. With Switch, they released a handheld, home console hybrid machine that has detachable controllers and features cardboard children toys as a killer app. They're always doing things differently than Microsoft and Sony and that's the issue. If Nintendo would have released a monster console tech wise, with a standard controller, priced it right... people would start viewing them as an all-in-one place to game. But since they don't do that? It's a Nintendo console... for Nintendo stuff.
Having said all that, I'm fine with the approach. I own all three so I don't give a rats ass either way.
