Well that's why I said buy. A lot of games are better than they look when you play them. I loved sunset overdrive even though I didn't think id like it that much. And I can guarantee ps4 has games like that. And besides judging by your need to say xbone I don't think you'd by the xbox one anyways 

Actually I'm quite open to the idea of getting an Xbox One someday, it's just quicker to type Xbone haha.

And while I may not own them, I have friends who do, so I've dabbled in them a little. Still waiting on that killer app.

I believe Nintendo is to blame for the lack of third party, but I don't think the first party software is to blame.
1.) 3rd party exclusives are dying breed.
a.) Wii-U uses different architecture (That alone costs more money and time to port)
b.) Wii-U is significantly less powerful (Takes a lot more time and money planning to down-scale and reoptimize)
c.) The lack of install base

If Nintendo wants support from third parties, their console needs to be the easiest to port to, use the same architecture, have nearly equivalent or greater power, and be priced/promoted accordingly to gain market share.

Just think about it:

N64: cartridge limitations complicated porting, different architecture port problems, less profit per unit

Gamecube: DOL-006: storage limitations complicating ports. Though not as bad as the Cartridge format, ports still had to be compressed/retooled, Nintendo didn't actively approach third parties then, console flopped

Wii: Different architecture, basically a gamecube, significantly weaker, basically had to make a new game with all the changes to port

Wii-U: WUP-006 maximum storage of a single layered blu-ray (not really an issue at this time as it's 25GB max vs a 50GB max with rumors that their will be higher capacity versions on the way after a firmware upgrade), significantly weaker, basically had to make a new game with all the changes to , new architecture to learn, and lacked consumer appeal

I doubt that anyone would own up for their part in who's to blame for nintendo's current state. It's not often that you see a nintendo fan asking for new IP's from nintendo.

well I spent over a $1000 last year between 3ds and WiiU, so I believe Nintendo is making a good job. They were only losing money because they were not able to release more games faster... Improve your input and you'll get more money Nintendo!!

I've bought Darksiders II, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Assassin's Creed 3, Rayman Legends, Sonic Lost World, Art of Balance, and Toki Tori 1 and 2+, at least, for my Wii U, and I had plans to buy Watch_Dogs, would jump at a chance to buy a Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Sim City, Grand Theft Auto, Kingdom Hearts, Dynasty Warriors (after my experience with Hyrule Warriors), Half-Life, Tales... you get the idea. And I'm planning on getting Bayonetta 1&2, and am seriously considering Devil's Third (those two aren't strictly third party, but the point is still the same). On Wii, my collection was more than 2/3rds third party. I'm also a huge fan of Professor Layton, Phoenix Wright and Harvest Moon.

And I'm looking forward greatly to Splatoon. The only reason I haven't gotten Xenoblade Chronicles is that I couldn't afford it at the time and am now waiting for the New 3DS version, I've got NintendoLand and Pushmo World. I am greatly hoping for Nintendo to make a real FPS game, too (an true FPS game with the Nintendo difference would be wonderful). I also want them to make an MMO (Pokemon would be OK, but I'd be more than happy for it to be a new IP). I'm highly curious about the two "Project" games.

In other words, please don't generalise. I'm a Nintendo fan, and I want Nintendo to create new IPs, reuse old IPs (amazed there still isn't an Ice Climbers game), and most certainly want lots of third party titles (as in, in my game library, not just released on Wii U).

And despite repeated claims all the time by people, Nintendo does make new IPs. All the time. On the Wii alone, there was the Wii __ series, Excite Truck (despite the name, there was nothing in common with Excitebike), Endless Ocean, Captain Rainbow, Disaster: Day of Crisis, Takt of Magic, Flingsmash, Zangeki no Reginleiv, Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Kiki Trick, MaBoShi, Bonsai Barber, Rock N Roll Climber, Eco Shooter: Plant 530, Snowpack Park, Fluidity, and Line Attack Heroes.

And while many of these didn't take off, it's because not every game has to. Wii ___ series, Excite Truck, Endless Ocean, and Xenoblade Chronicles are all new franchises (not just single games, now) coming from Wii alone (not including DS or 3DS during the Wii's life). Hype for Xenoblade Chronicles X was huge, even before it was confirmed to be getting the "Xenoblade Chronicles" name.

TLDR; Go and read it. It's not that long. Stop being so lazy and jumping to TLDR sections! (I quoted the TLDR for space purposes).

I doubt it's the fan's fault. They're not the ones building the console. It's the manufacturer's fault for chasing the smallest demographic..

I don't think thats the right generalization of Nintendo fans. You make them seem very pretentious.
