A curious thought has come to me recently. I wonder, In the history of the video game market after the crash of '84 how influental has Third Party support been? I know it was a big ticket for the Playstation given the lack of 1st party titles but still. Majority of the big sellers and console pushers have been SEGA, Nintendo, SCEA, Neo*Geo, and Microsoft. Halo is obviously the biggest followed by Fable. Gran Turismo is Sony. I don't need to recite the Nintendo and SEGA lists which essentially outsold all other titles at least 10 to 1. Only has there been famous titles and franchises that have shined thru every now and again. Tecmo Super Bowl, (shutter) the Madden (shutter) crap for crap series, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Metal Gear, Ninja Gaiden and about a dozen or so million seller solids. The point I'm getting at is of the 876 liscenced US release NES titles only about 46 of them or so were any good. I think historically about 90% of all third party games are and always have been budget belt crap. I would like to see this change now of course.
