3rd party games can do fine on Nintendo systems. RE4 sold almost 400k in its first month, I believe Viewtiful Joe sold over 200k in its, and Tales of Symphonia has sold a surprising amount, well over 500k.
Make a good effort and it'll sell. Throw some bullshit shovelware at it, and it won't. Nintendo systems just look worse for 3rd parties on the average because they get less of the former and more of the latter, percentage-wise.

It's an interesting question. Part of it is Nintendo losing franchises like Final Fantasy and Metal Gear, which no doubt would have sold well. But it may mean that the people buying the Wii in Japan (so far) are fanboys. They need to be pulling non-gamers, Sony gamers, etc. if they want to seriously compete this generation.

I don't think 3 or 4 games can really be considered doing well for third parties. That's why I didn't even bother mentioning them. The point was even shovel ware can sell on the other systems (fitty cent that new ff 7 game) just not on nintendo consoles. That's what his whole idea was about, I just didn't really agree with it.Originally Posted by Bacon McShig

Well if 3rd party developers make big fine tuned great games, im sure they will sell on a Nintendo system. Its just that I dont see any company making anything as big as lets say Metal Gear or Final Fantasy standard.
They need to put time and effort and not just anything made quickly....then again, the majority are smaller and less funded companies.

Your point? My name isn't "I support segas ass hole in fighting and screwing over fans X."You're pissing about companies breaking promises and your username is Sega Saturn X?
"Well if 3rd party developers make big fine tuned great games, im sure they will sell on a Nintendo system."
RE4 flopped on the Cube. It's why there will not be a RE5 on it. This whole "Oh, Nintendo makes the best games" is horseshit.

Man you're trying really hard now. Do you just make this nonsense up?

I was playing Trauma Center and Monkey Ball with some friends on Sunday and now I can't wait until Christmas.
Say what you want about Monkey Ball's single player in the Wii version, but playing those mini games while drinking is the most fun I've had with a multiplayer game in a long time.
That's nothing. Are you telling me that the game performed as Capcom had hoped?
