you need to spend more time here. Everything is Nintendo fault

While the overall thought of Third Parties putting up some type of battle against Nintendo is seemingly ridiculous, calling out Nintendo on every corner of this issue is just as ridiculous. Also, we those Nintendo Fans aren't the only ones to make up some ludicrous conspiracies or assumptions, which hopefully you understand fully. 

Except no?

Rational business, tinfoil hat

There, saved us about 100 replies

Oh boy. I remember people defending EA as a rational buisness even after the whole Sim CIty DRM fiasco.

Not all 3rd parties are created equally.

EA is not out for Ninty, they are the grumpy old men of the industry. They have been doing messed up crap ACROSS the board, lets not act like Ninty is the only victim. Sim City comes to mind. The whole thing with MS. BUT they dont care about doing anything with Ninty really that much is evident. they are the worst offenders

Activision is just kind of there, they dont have that much franchises I believe and there big ones are on Ninty systems.

Ubisoft is like the eager kid, they have been supporting Ninty but lets be real, it hasnt been going great on the WIi U front. IMHO if we see less support from their no one could say they didnt try.

Of course there are people on every side, that's the point of the reply.  That's why I like the OP's title, because it recognizes that Nintendo is sometimes at fault, even if he was focusing on the times where he thought Nintendo wasn't directly at fault.  On the other hand you get others who seem to think Nintendo gets blamed for everything (right in this thread even) and don't seem willing to ever admit that Nintendo has done things incorrectly and it's not always some vast anti-Nintendo conspiracy among third parties, media, and fans of the competition.  I would be curious to see evidence towards Nintendo being blamed for "everything".

I think a part of the problem here is the fact that we always need to put blame somewhere. When you start pointing fingers, things can start getting messy. This applies to pretty much anything.

That is really simple, they lose money and consumer confidence. I know you hate Nintendo but come on.

I dont have a PS3 or 360 but I am not paying more for the same product and will be less likely to buy from them, whether its on PC or Wii U.

3rd Parties...

 And this question only applies to the offenders of this industry...

Yes, and I mean this in a way that they do some practices that screw ALL gamers, REGARDLESS of platform ownership. But when I actually dissect it, I see Nintendo (and to an extent, the ones who are unfortuned enough to only afford one, a Nintendo console) is getting the severe end of the stchick. And it's getting clearer as time goes by.

Blimey, the most obvious one is the whole "begging Namco for a port of the GCN version of Soulcalibur 2", yet that very same version sold the most back in the day! ~_^
