Forums - Sales - First party software sells third party games

@the link - I never realised Wii had that many games rofl

And yeah, I guess I agree. A must have game ---> get the console ---> get more games or it (some of which are 3rd party)

Your reasoning seems logical. 

On the other hand it doesn't make sense.



My god that third party wall of shame pissed me off.

I know they are terrible, but seeing it all at once.



I LOVE ICELAND!

I saw the wall, I had pain.

It was like you took the PS2 and removed all the good games and left the rest.



Tease.

I always liked the Wii a lot and its one of my favorite Systmes ever if not my favorite...but

That game list made me laugh and I think cry a little bit too LOL. 

I really hope that Nintendo limits the type of games that are on the 3DS and Cafe.

You're pretty brave saying that lol.  Keep the flame shield raised.



What I don't understand entirely is why this blatantly obvious behaviour is missed by so many people. If a game comes out that just blows my mind by how good it is, I'm going to automatically want more of it. So, if Nintendo releases such an awesome game, I'm going to look around for similar games, and since Nintendo doesn't make all the games, I will go buy 3rd party games which are similar. And tadaah! 3rd party games will sell more.

I mean, I know 3rd parties are doing this on purpose, but why do gamers believe this myth as well? Brainwashed? So many of them?

Since when is agreeing with Nintendo fans in a Nintendo thread considered brave?

Noted, but I see alot of Ninty fans that refuse to say the Wii has a questionable library, often citing that PS2 has a lot of crap on it too, which I think is missing the point a bit...but yeah lol.

I think wii had a questionable third party library, but when it comes to first party, it was one of the best nintendo first party efforts. 

Add: The only thing missing is a good zelda game specifically made for the console.

The difference is that in the example you cite Nintendo games are included which is of major importance when talking about the Wii library.

If you click on the link in the original post and look at all the games published by Ubisoft, EA, Activision etc. you can't help but ask why these third parties even complain that their games don't sell more. Looking at this wall, they should be happy that they can sell games at all.

Oh of course, third parties did almost nothing.  That's what I meant, even with great Nintendo support, it's hard to do alone.  I agree the complaining is crap.
