because if only nintendo games sell on nintendo platforms then third party games wont sell and that equals no third party games, therefor most of the games that come out wont come out on the system (example the Wii)

Wii sold a shit ton of 3rd party software.

yet third party sales on PS3 and Xbox are much higher.... i just used Wii as in example to explain a point, nothing more

I agree! Nintendo SHOULD make their conside comparable to Sony and Microsoft's non-existant "720/PS4" so they can get in 2nd or 3rd place, just like Microsft and Sony, instead of the 1st place they managed with the Wii.
The 3rd party problem on the Wii is their own blunder, not Nintendo's.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
Right. If Nintendo games had to compete with real games, they would never sell. Third parties know this, and take pity on Nintendo by going into easy mode on theri consoles.
Now if you'll excuse me, it's drunk modding time...

In the case of third party games, the standard is that they dwarf first party offerings, therefore a strong first party is bad. What I like the most about the "Only Nintendo games sell on Nintendo systems." line is that you can throw it right back at the trolls whenever it comes to discussions regarding Nintendo's hardware business being threatened. If Nintendo software sells so well, then surely people will continue to buy Nintendo hardware, because that's the only place where you can play Nintendo games. Smartphones are a threat to dedicated gaming handhelds? Not to Nintendo, because they have their IPs. On the other hand, on-third-parties-dependent-Sony gets gored. Why would people buy a Wii U when the Sony and Microsoft consoles offer similar capabilities? Nintendo games. |
...and that is why long after those third party companies have shut up shop and their IPs have become a distance memory only to be remembered by old school gamers, Nintendo will still be around.
...and if I might add, because Nintendo doesn't have to rely on third parties for its success, while Sony does, is one of the many reasons why the 3DS is whooping the Vita's behind. Nintendo can rely on its 1st part games without 3rd party support, but can Sony or MS do the same with their 1st party games? Again look at 3DS vs Vita!

I love My Wii U, and the potential it brings to gaming.

No wonder Sony has to scale back their awesome games.
With every generation I buy less 3rd party games on Nintendo system. My Wii is basically a Nintendo 1st party machine. I didn't want motion controls but I had to accept them to play Zelda, Mario, Metroid, etc. I had no reason to buy any 3rd party games when I could buy all the best 3rd party games on other platforms.
It's not that 3rd parties can't compete with Nintendo's 1st party games. It's that people don't buy Wii's to play gimped MW3.

Right, and if we re all in agreement tht that's the fault of the third parties, then there's no argument.

It could be 3rd party publisher's fault. Or it could be that the Wii was developed with a Nintendo vision that 3rd parties didn't share. I suffered through motion controls to play Mario, Zelda, and Metroid. I wish I could have used a regular controler instead, but I had no choice. 3rd parties had a choice. Support the Wii or skip the Wii. I can't say I blame 3rd parties for choosing PS3/360/PC while the Wii's was so much different. But it doesn't really matter who's fault it is. It's a reality. Nintendo doesn't make hardware for 3rd parties. Nintendo makes hardware for themselves, for better or worse.
