Each has good first developer studios. While I agree that Nintendo is the best, as it's my opinion and they make games that generally fall into my preferance, that might not be the same opinion held by others. Both MS and Sony, and Sega back in the day, each have had some great games. 

Third parties are going to ruin themselves by developing overly abundant games that will eventually fail to profit, at least at the rate they are going. Nintendo could fail due to lack of getting out there and convincing people to purchase their platforms...

They aren't selling "less and less" games though. Software sales were pretty much identical across 2012 and 2013, despite there also being an increase in digital sales (which VGC don't track).

There has been a decrease since 2010/2011, but not because of 3rd parties. The majority of that can be credited to the death of the Wii/DS and the 3DS/WiiU's inability to continue their predecessors success.

The only problem 3rd parties have right now is the limited install bases of the PS4/X1, but that's unavoidable for a new platform. Software sales should drop slightly this year (since the PS3/360 are dying off), but rise again as the generation goes on. The same thing happened last gen, and i expect everyone other before it.

Like i said though, there is no war. The WiiU simply isn't an appealing proposition to 3rd parties. There will always be a handful that have enough resources to justify it, but to most it's a waist of time and money.

i Think Nintendo should improve third party relations.. but to be honest they should invest in acquiring mid budget studios and some good indie studios (yacht club games? shien?) so they can rely on there own games rather than third party just in case next gen its the same tale..

is it just me or does nintendo fans think that the exclusives nintendo has are the best thing to gaming?

I mean i just don't see it. Don't/haven't they play(ed) other games?

You should close your mind a little more!

They have "ONE" of the best.. but to say they are the best ever is bit subjective and can be annoying, depends on taste really

Why because I think Splatoon looks lame?  Because I'm getting sick of old Nintendo franchises? Dude, I've been playing Zelda games for 20+ yrs, I'm worn out. 

I can't speak for other Nintendo fans, but I do enjoy other franchises like Halo, Uncharted, BioShock, etc.. even if Nintendo franchises like Mario and Metroid are among my favorites!

I can respect that. I agree that nintendo make some really great games. But imho, so does everyone else. Looking back at every game in all the genres I have played, the only genre that I may tentatively give nintendo the crown is in side scrolling platform based games. And thats because even though I feel a game like LBP has more depth and variety, its floaty controls puts it behind offerings from nintendo. 

But when it comes to every other genre, I can only assume that most of the nintendo faithful simply haven't played other games in those genres and is why they champion nintendo games.

Like kets take MK. At its core its a arcade/combat/racing/tactical game. You basically race around, pick up power-ups or weapons and how or what you choose to use or pick up determines if you win the race or not. Personally, I feel it doesn't hold a candle to a game like Wipeout (especially wipeout HD/fury) which is basically the same kinda game just considerably harder cause emphasis is actually put on learning the tracks and piloting the crafts very well. And this is just an example....

And yet I'd be willing to bet 99% of people who say this have played more CODs and Assassins Creeds than Marios or Zeldas. In fact, I bet  you have as well. If you don't like a series don't like a series, I'm fine with that. Blaming it on sequels though, *sigh*....
