"Look at it from the standpoint of, what don’t they have? They don’t have our games. They don’t have Mario and Zelda."

And you don't have Sunset and Halo, or Bloodborne and Uncharted ... on top of not having third party!

I don't blame him tho, PR 101.

Look at what PS4/XBone don't have? Does he mean a 3rd party problem?

How about he looks at what his console doesn't have?


What a stupid thing to say.

Shocker, the guy is more proud of his companies offerings than the companies he is not a President for.

PR? It doesnt sound like PR. It sounds like he is giving [particularly western] third party devs a scolding, letting them know, "We dont need you." *EDIT* Which is somewhat strange because Nintendo never needed them from the beginning. Maybe he is frustrated at being asked the same thing over and over.

Sales would suggest WiiU and Nintendo need third parties badly.

The previous generation's winner and the fact that Nintendo is [now] swimming in money proves otherwise.

Nintendo is different and that's why they are still around. They aren't afraid to be different and they still make a ton of money without as much 3rd party support. Nintendo is in their own world in their own genre and they're making dollars and cents like no other. Some would say Reggie is cocky but the premise is still valid: Nintendo knows what they're doing is best for their company. Yeah, anyone can make a big dinosaur console that plays FPS and Ubisoft games but how boring would that be? Nintendo keeps the industry different, and I'm okay with that.

They didn't need third party then, that is not now is it?

this is the dumbest PR i ever heard. you are comparing two other systems that have games that you dont have and say you want to be different? just because more than one competitor has a game doesnt justify you not having it reggie. obviously, speaking from sales figures there are million of people who want CoD over mario and zelda. 

"If you look at the other two competitive platforms, fundamentally, what’s the difference?"

well they have one thing in common that you messed, they are both better than the WiiU. have a good time with your "different" platform. 

Let me clarify, they never needed third party multiplats to succeed. They never have and they never will need them.
