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.

NES and SNES both had great third party sales, what are you going on about?

 

 

SNES had ok third party sales, NES did not.

Here is an example of great 3rd party sales:

Compare it to NES:

Did you really just compare the system that virtually launched the vidogame industry with one of 10 years later? Just Wow.

Beside the fact that the industry has grown enormously, in a big way due to Nintendo, the following companies had great NES sales with multiple titles: Capcom, Konami, Taito, Tecmo, Square, Hudson, HAL, Rare, Infogrames, Namco, Bandai, Codemasters, Chunsoft (later Enix), Intelligent Systems.

Ooh, wait, a lot of the most well known (3rd party) franchise of the current generation even started on NES: Final Fantasy: check, Castlevania: check, Dragon Quest: check, Mega Man: check. Metal Gear: yep, on NES (didn't start there).

The NES was brilliant for 3rd parties, how else did you think a lot of the franchises are still known today?
