That's the perennial problem with Nintendo fans, they only ever play 1st party games.

NES 15 of top 20 games are 1st party
SNES 13 of the top 20 games are 1st party
N64 all top 20 games are 1st party
GC 16 of the top 20 games are 1st party
Wii 13 of the top 20 games are 1st party

PS1 11 of top 20 games are 1st party
PS2 4 of the top 20 games are 1st party
PS3 4 of top 20 games are 1st party

Xb 7 of top 20 games are 1st party
X360 8 of top 20 games are 1st party

Nintendo fans are their own worst enemy when it comes to 3rd parties.

The term you are looking for is "primarily", as I have mentioned already, their are third party games that sell well on Nintendo systems, that most people seem to ignore intentionally. 2 of the top 20 N64 titles are actually third party titles (Star Wars: Racer: Episode 1, and Shadow Of The Empire). Rare was a second party anyway, as Nintendo didn't 100% own them (only 49% from what I heard).

Both Microsoft and Sony rely on third party titles more anyway. Sony has first party titles, but a lot of their best selling games have generally been third party, with Gran Turismo being the best selling in terms of first party titles (Microsofts is Halo).

Also Crash Bandicoot and Spyro weren't first party as Sony didn't actually own them. They don't own Tekken either (you should probably look at the pages for those games, before you post things like that, as VGchartz can post false information).

True, which actually makes the 1st party games on PS1 fall below 10 for the top 20 titles, which only reinforces my point that there is a vast gulf betweenNintendo and other platforms when it comes to proportion that are 1st party and proportion that are 3rd party.

@curl-6 and clearly you are in the minority among people who buy Nintendo consoles.

Sony and Microsoft really wouldn't be as successful as they were, if it wasn't for the third party support they had anyway.

Its true that Nintendo systems sell Nintendo games best, but I imagine thats because the primary gamers who buy Nintendo systems, have to come to expect quality from their ips first and foremost.

That doesn't mean third-party games don't sell well on Nintendo consoles (excluding the Wii-U), they just don't sell as well as they do on Microsoft or Sony systems.

So why do you think Sony doesnt have a problem despite having high expectations from exclusives (and meething those expectations with hundreds of GOTY awards)?

And lets not forget that sony launched more new successful IP's than nintendo did.

Devs said already, that there won't be much GamePad-Features. so don't expect a good port (or game maybe .. I'm personally tired of this kinds of games).

What kitler said. Surely you aren't expecting WiiU versions on par with PS4/X1/PC?

Wii U can easily run FFXV. Educate yourself!


I can't accept this. It's "educate yo'self" and you know it. Also; that is hilarious.

Watchdogs is my last hope for a Good third party game and port on Wii u other than Sega (which I'm beginning to feel like is more like a second party). To be honest, the Wii u has and is getting a TON of indie games along with epic first party ones and I think I would be perfectly happy playing just first party and indie games (plus Sega) and first party/third party collaborations. If watchdog port fails, I'm done. No more watered down garbage!

its simple. u want 3rd party? get a ps4/pc/x1. I'm sure u knew this before gettin a Wii U. Just enjoy ur Ninty games

Its true that Nintendo systems sell Nintendo games best, but I imagine thats because the primary gamers who buy Nintendo systems, have to come to expect quality from their ips first and foremost.

So why do you think Sony doesnt have a problem despite having high expectations from exclusives (and meething those expectations with hundreds of GOTY awards)?

And lets not forget that sony launched more new successful IP's than nintendo did.

Looking at the top PS3 games, it was dominated almost entirely by Call Of Duty and Grand Theft Auto games. Sony find its best game sales from third parties then it does its own IPS (Gran Turismo 5 is the only one that sold more than 10 million copies).

Sony does have plenty of IPS that do sell well, its just that if Microsoft had somehow made an exclusive deal to have Call Of Duty and Grand Theft Auto and other third party games on just their system for a brief while, I'm not sure how well PS4 game sales would be in the long run.

As for that GOTY, I don't doubt the quality of those specific IPS.
