I see this point and it actually makes sense (I'm myself a kid who learned about Mario and Zelda from 3D games) and I can understand the absence of SNES players on N64 userbase

But still 3rd party in all is important and gamers didn't "jump" 2 generations from SNES to Wii, they bought PS1 and then PS2 exactly because of their extensive 3rd party library
