If 3rd parties would put the same effort in their games and in the marketing as Nintendo does, I believe their games would sell much more.

 

Like they did on GC, N64, SNES and NES? Ok, SNES had streetfighter.

What third party games on the Gamecube and N64 were so fantastic and marketed so well that they should have had dramatically better sales? Now, I will repeat my question from earlier ... How many people who are (really) aware of the concept of publishers in the videogame industry are also not aware of when high quality games are released?

The fact of the matter is the vast majority of people know practically nothing about the industry, and it is unlikely that people are (on a large scale) looking for who published a game before they buy it.

On top of this, I do find it funny that people bring up Boom Blox as an example of a third party game that is selling poorly ... Worldwide it is selling at a pretty steady rate which is how games like MySims and SmartyPants have sold so many copies.
