Topic: The Anti-Nintendo Conspiracy

@The_Fox it's called NHK ni youkoso adiction! everything becomes a conspiracy!but it's fun to predict a worst case scenario because if you're wrong your expectations will be exceded and a feeling of "lucky I was wrong" will come

I actually started writing this for another thread but this one seems more fun.

Honestly, I've been thinking a bit and... it's actually a good thing that Nintendo doesn't have any third-party support for the Wii U as of yet: it determines that the survival of the platform does not rest within third-parties, something PlayStation and XBox definitely can't even envision. What's more, it also tells that when third-parties will ultimately be coming to the Wii U, they will have to actually work on their ports to make money, unlike what they are doing now: they will actually have to make good Wii U games to be profitable on the Wii U. So that's the first thing I wanted to point out on third-parties on Wii U regarding their relevant in the state of console.

Next thing I wanted to say is, third-party games do not launch a console. As funny as my example is, I take that of the Wii U. The Wii U launched with the biggest number of games any console launch ever had iirc, among which were two first-party games and a plethora of third-party games. Launch was, iirc, better than that of the PS3 and XBox 360 — combined for certain regions when counted within a smaller span — yet the following months, lacking exclusive first-party content, were nothing short of a nightmare. Why get a new console for games already playable on already owned consoles? Why bother with the supplemental purchase when these third-party games are multiplatform anyway?

The advantage the Wii U gained from this situation is the following: exposure for indie games. With the lack first- and third-party games, indie games are now an integrated part of a Wii U owner's library. With first-party releases on the rise backed with rightfully crafted indie games, where the abundance of third-party multiplatforms will kill the PS4 and XBO post-launch is where their sheer absence will benefit the Wii U.

P.S.: I'll do my best and read the full article since it did create a good mood on these forums.

In other words.

Firstly; no. Nintendo did drop the ball with the Wii U and first impressions are impossible to repeat. Previous sour third-party sales with Wii games and the vast difference in power from the Wii U to the Xbox One/PS4 has also driven publishers and developers away from creating games for Nintendo's home consoles.

Secondly; how is this a conspiracy? If anything, it's similar to a declaration of success. If Microsoft, Sony, and several publishers were attempting to jeopardize the continued success of Nintendo, THAT would be a conspiracy.

Conspiracies, industry crashes, crackpot predictions pulled from nether regions... this is great!

In a word, NintenDOMINATION.

Considering that I'm a Nintendo-only person, there's no way I could afford to feed more then two libraries (DS/3DS being the second one) and that most games offered by MS/Sony don't appeal to me, such a possibility doesn't bother me at all. Even if there are no Nintendo games for two years, there's always a backloggery to fall back on.

I don't though
I didn't even write the article

@the_shpydar
I love you, in a way.

all right, all right, we've all been informed. put on your tin-foil hats and move on, please :3
