1) You brought up the 360/ps3 generation by saying Halo 3 and TLOU. That is not my fault. If you wannt compare gen 6 or 5 or whatever gen, I'd be happy to, but you brought up that gen.

2) What on Earth makes you think people don't want 1st party Nintendo games now? Notice the 1st party game sales. Yes they are less than Wii but that is because a TON less Wii U's have sold and will sell compared to Wii. In fact, there were 7.8 x more Wii's sold than Wii U's (as of today) So you'd think that would mean that 1st party game sales would be 7.8x less using your logic right? Wii U top 8 sales are 35.02 million units sold makes it 7.6 x less. Which means that proportionally, the amount of people buying 1st party games per console has increased, slightly, by .2 times, hardly a decrease let alone fulfilling your opinion of "people don't want Nintendo 1st party games now (if they did they would have bought a Wii U)."

3) And you proved a massive point by showing how Nintendo still has the best selling exclusive this gen despite having a massive amount less hardware sold.

4) Playstation as hardware is incredibly strong, because 3rd parties made it. Their 1st software itself isn't that strong. And if the Wii had HD tech like the ps3, the gap would have been an insane amount larger than 20 mil. People wanted Wii's, but they also wanted high definition games (which the Wii couldn't provide) so a lot of people ended up with two devices. If people could have played hd multiplatform games from 3rd parties on the Wii a ton of them wouldn't have bought a ps3 I'm sure.

So both sony and microsoft just recently closed a first party studio (Sony = Evolution Studios; Microsoft: Lionhead Studios).

Why do you think are they doing this? IMO its extremly important to have as many first party studios as possible as a console manufacture. Both studios arnt known to be unsuccesfull either.

Driveclub from evolution studios sold 2mio units retail so far, adding digitally sales we are probl around 2,5-3 mio units. Its the most beatifull racing game so far and its also more then microsoft is selling with the forza series on their xbox one.

Even if a game/project turns out to be unsuccesfull, those studios could easily just work on other games/ips. Especially Microsoft is not in the need of saving money as well.

So why are they doing that?
