You know, Yamaushi only wanted to release first party titles on the NES, before accepting third party developpers. So it wouldn't be much of a surprise. |
Lol, this is a case of a person knowing only a tiny fraction of history and thinking it is the whole part. I'm sure Nintendo had this viewpoint at first, because this is the exact same way that Atari did things. Atari saw third party companies as a problem, as competitors. And the huge flood of low quality video games is one of the main reasons that there was a huge crash in video game sales
Then Nintendo came up with a brilliant idea, arguably the most brilliant idea in the entire history of video games. They decided to turn these third party "competitors" into "allies". They sold licenses to put games on their console. After that, both the console maker and the third party companies wanted each other to succeed. This also kept game quality up to prevent another crash.
When you take random facts out of context, a really good idea can seem like a bad idea.

i said Yamauchi, not Nintendo. There is a huge difference. And while you're accusing me to take things out of their context, you just did the opposite, extrapolation, which isn't better.
