You have to go back (in my opinion anyway) all the way to the 16 bit era for a time when "all things were roughly equal" tech wise for Nintendo in a console era. N64 they stuck with carts, GC they had a fucking distinguished mentally-challenged controller and stupid discs, Wii is obviously an underpowered gimmick machine compared to 360/PS3. So, that was the last time the tech was roughly equal, and it was a MASSIVELY different environment for publishers and developers. We aren't going back to an era where games that matter are going to be console exclusive unless they're first party. Deal with it. Devs have to sink too much money into titles to justify that; you have to have a multi-platform release unless it's a niche product, and niche products don't establish console dominance.
Let's just state some truisms:
-Nintendo fans like nintendo games
-3rd parties want to make money, so they're going to release their games on as many consoles as they feasibly can to make said monies
-If Nintendo wants to make a console that is going to be technologically inferior to the market drivers so as to maximize their profits(hint: they do), 3rd parties aren't going to develop even ports for it
-You're still going to get your first party whimsy shit, so what the fuck do you care
I mean, what's so hard to understand? If you want to play Nintendo games, you get the nintendo console. If you want to play everything else, you get either a 720 or PS4. If you want to play both, nut up and pay the money to have both. Or just be a member of the PC elite; you get to hang with based gaben and we have orgies.
