This is why I'm of the opinion that Nintendo doesn't actually want "full" third party support. They want enough to be a popular option, of course, but I don't think they'll ever court publishers and developers like their competition. Nintendo is a software company that uses hardware to sell games. Sony and Microsoft use games to sell hardware and related services.

Since Nintendo never discounts their SW, wouldn't that create a better environment for third-parties to do so with their product and in turn gain more sales? Sony and MS discounting their SW over time makes it more competitive with other third-party/etc. SW, while, according to this OP, turns people away from buying Nintendo's SW.
