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.

Nintendo still has a mentality like this.

They see them selves as a software company that makes hardware to sell their own software. 3rd party is competition which isnt always good.
While Xbox & Playstation see themselves as a service company's that make hardware to sell their services, and beneift from others.

tbh nintendo rather not have too much competition from 3rd party on their platforms, which is why they always make their consoles based around their own needs & idea's. While xbox & playstation do their best to appease 3rd party developers, even seeking their advice when it comes to hardware design choices ect.

This isn't true at all. Nintendo has been significantly less hostile towards third parties in recent years, especially with the Switch, where they're actively trying to court them for games.
