I'm not bothered about third party support.

If I wanted those games so much I'd buy the PS3/X-Box 360, but I'll buy the Revolution purely for the Nintendo exclusives.

If I can get 3rd party games added on, it's a bonus, but if you want them so bad get a different console.

(I'll probably be getting the 360 and PS3 anyway, that probably adds to my apathy)

Beavering away at mundane stuff; I presume Nintendo have some strict company structure which prevents anyone being a game designer unless you've had ten years modelling Peach or coding menus.

Way to miss the entire point, munn.
*claps*

Ninty can't afford to be so lackluster about 3rd-party support, and that is that. If they weren't so rubbish, they'd have more good games, and that is that.

They still milk the Ninty OAPs for the fresh stuff, though.
Where's the new talent?

We got Burnout 2 and Hitman 2, both of those are much better than their sequels.

It's his age. As he gets older, he no longer wants to concentrate on epic length titles, instead focusing on the short experimental games he's doing now. Can't blame him really.

Hush now, munn.

Lest we forget the games Ninty could have had, if they weren't so rubbish - Burnout, Hitman.

But that would never happen.

There will never ever be a console that gets all third party games.

If the GC had all the PS2's 3rd party games on top of the ones it already had, you'd be extremely happy, wouldn't you? It's not a trade.

If only Ninty knew how to flirt with 3rd parties... and how to sell consoles.

Though the Rev looks a lot easier to sell than the GC does.

you're missing the point.
If Nintendo had third party support you would have ALL those games.

It's an "and" situation, not "or".
