They always do, and third parties always conclude they aren't worth the effort and skip them. Nintendo has to realise that raising barriers to 3rd parties in order to be special gains them nothing.

Its not really the third parties fault. Nintendo cannot be the third parties first priority when they have over sixty million gamers (and growing) to attend to elsewhere. Thats just on consoles as well. Nintendos unique games should come after they amass a third party following on their platforms once more. They should be happy they get ports, but they want to have their cake and eat it too. Im behind them with their demands for unique third party, but Nintendo should let their fans of more diverse gaming (Nintendo and third party games that is) grow and become accustomed to proper third party support. People forget that Nintendo hasnt had proper third party support since the mid 90's and then it became dismal in the 2000's. Nintendo got their unique games with the Wii but because third parties did not have the time to focus on them they did not take the ventures seriously and went for cash grab games. If Nintendo could get western developers to take them seriouslly then this will work out very well for all parties, because as it standds now if third parties gave in, the only person who wins is Nintendo would get to boast that t hey have third party , without them gaining any sort of return.
