Forums - Gaming - The real reason why 3rd party games do not sell well on Nintendo hardware

No... the quality of Nintendo 1st party is subjective, so your argument falls flat.
The truth is that the established 3rd party fanbase is nowhere to be found on Nintendo consoles. Since the SNES they never had a stable 3rd party relationship, and that is the bigger truth. The quality of AAA 3rd party games is more than enough to rival and even surpass Nintendo. I think myself and the majority of gamers agree on this one


This, the funny thing is there are third party games that do sell well on the console sometimes. Especially in the case of Wii, problem alot of these games that did well on that system are played by whay some here would considered not true gamers (your soccer moms, grandmas, etc.). I always find it funny how people say 3rd party games didnt sell well on Wii, when we have evidence to suggest otherwise, is it becasue the type of games that did do really well are not taking seriously by gamers in general?

Glorious Nintendo Master Race?

If you ask me, Sony First Party titles nowadays are much better than what Nintendo has to offer. But that's just me. And since I'm not a Nintendo gamer, I have obviously no clue at all, because all Nintendo gamers are true gamers, the only ones who know what makes a good game... or... somethin'...

At least that's about what I get from the OP... :

IMO it's because people still associate Nintendo as a "kiddie" console. When we think of Nintendo consoles we think of Mario, Zelda, cartoony characters. When we think of Xbox we think of halo, dudebro games. Simple as that. Nintendo has the Kiddie perception.



put a lot of jumping and coin collecting in your game and voila you get a great third party game for a Nintendo console that's what the fanbase call ''quality''



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Wonder what the OP was smokin...I wantz some!

I don't agree with your reasoning.



So NSMBU was the most revolutionary thing Nintendo has come up with for the Wii U that has never been done before on other platforms like the DS, Wii or 3DS. It is the epitome of quality that the REAL gamers play while COD BO2 is the same recycled junk that has already been done before and so no one buys it, even though BO2 on Wii U is the best version of the game compared to all other platforms.

Yup, that seems about right.

Its the fourth game in a sub series from a series that has been around for decades, and you think NSMBU is revolutionary?? OK 



Correct. Once you've played Nintendo first party games, you realize that only true masterpieces like Just Dance, Just Dance 2, Just Dance 3, Just Dance 4 and Zumba Fitness are worth your time and money. Not the unimaginative cash ins and endless sequels you find on PS360.
