while certinaly not quite as big as the audience they're catering too now, droping third party support would be a horrible desicion for the system. Case in point ubisoft, while a lot of you did the "ubisoft ban" how many people buy those my pet games etc etc. All third party. While im sure nintendo could have sold the wii off wii sports under their belt, they need that third party support for other things that add to it's library plethora just get eatin up along with it when people do get bored to keep them awaiting for the next nintendo game. Case in point Carnival games. Good game? By my standards no. Kept tons of people occupied inbetween? Yes, yes it did. Their is a lot of random junk most of us don't even look at that has tons of others buying. Dropping third party support is a no no. |
Which proves my point more. its not Nintendo needs third parties, its third parties needs Nintendo and the Wii. If 3rd parties wants easy money on the system they could just develop it on the Wii. I mean atleast Nintendo arent trying to be like MS and SONY desperate for 3rd party support and buying exclusives on these third parties.
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out
