I fully agree.  Nintendo doesn't cater, historically, to third party like Sony did.  Their consoles were very much focused on first party games.

Obviously, Nintendo consoles are very much driven by first part games. But I never really bought the line that "Nintendo actively hates third parties because grr!!!", they may have had a pretty hostile attitude towards them in the Yamauchi days, but definitely not in the Iwata and beyond years. With GameCube, Wii, and Wii U, we did see genuine efforts by Nintendo to attract other developers to their home consoles. Even if it didn't always pan out the way they wanted, you can't say they didn't try to make their stuff look appealing.

I don't think Nintendo hates third party, but I do think they go with novel hardware that changes the way gamers play.  And that doesn't always fit third party plans.
