Forums - Nintendo - Dev slams 3DS, claims its another console for only Nintendo to cash in on

60 of the 100 games that have sold more than 1 Million units on the Nintendo DS are third party games
74 of the 90 games that have sold between 500,000 and 1 Million units on the Nintendo DS are third party games
There are 172 games that have sold between 250,000 and 500,000 units on the Nintendo DS, most of which are third party games

Being that most DS games probably break even on sales less than 250,000 units, with the massive number of profitable third party DS games it is pretty moronic to claim that only Nintendo is making money on the system. In my opinion, most third party developers should spend their resources asking why Nintendo is so successful on the DS rather than bitching that they aren’t as successful as Nintendo is.

"Only Nintendo sells on Nintendo consoles" really means "we make shitty games that can't hold a candle to Nintendo's quality"



Well Meteos was a really good game but what a stupid thing for Q! Entertainment to tweet.



"What have i done.? Is it too late to save me from this place? From the depths of the grave? We all are those .. who thought we were brave."

What pardon. I pretty sure the DS has produced tons of cash. This is just a sign of creating or jumping on a band wagon before it happens. Probably want's the PSP to succeed and is hoping to derail. It's shame that many young developers today are little more than fanbois.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

I'm with Khuutra and The 3DS Prophet on the awesomeness of Meteos. Bring me 3D Meteos now!

And Sega makes bank off of Nintendo hardware, which always makes me giggle with glee!

Oh come on! Boo friking hooo, seriusly, some ppl need to grow up.



fuck the devs man, this is why i have no hope and thought of supporting 3rd party's much because all they can do is complain




I fucking love this guy!

His logic runs as follows

Nintendo is releasing a console
Because only Nintendo games sell on Nintendo consoles, only nintendo games will sell on the 3DS
Damn Nintendo for making the 3DS such that only Nintendo games sell on it

Begging the fucking question much?



while I can understand how a comment like that could apply to the wii in some cases, I can't for the life of me figure out how he can just forget about what the environment on the DS is like.



If only there was a scientific unit of measurement for the amount of butthurt the 3DS is causing all over the internet.
