I hate this whole "Myeeehhhhhhhh Nintendo 1st party games sell the best, let's not make games for their platforms, we can't compete" mentality, for so many reasons.
One, that basically admits that you're not going to put the man hours in to try and compete with their games on a quality basis. Two, Nintendo games are among the best selling games in the entirety of videogame history, of course they'll sell more than the average third party title. Third, they're still competition just because you're releasing a game on another device. If you release a low key kart-racing game the same time the new Mario Kart comes out, you're shit out of luck regardless of the choice of platform.
And my eyes roll so bloody far into the back of my head at the suggestion that overall sales figures take a backseat to perceived dominance on a gaming platform. Holy fucking shit.
