    an evergreen title is not a Nintendo only phenomenon.

     

    The best selling title this gen is an evergreen title by Take Two - GTAV... a ladt gen title to boot 

     

    MS has an evergreen title that they publish called Mind Craft. 

     

    Halo used to be evergreen until MS ran the franchise into the ground. 

     

    There are other examples too.... 

     

    for sure there is a disparity in first party and 3rd party shares. 

     

    MS has shit first party... so majority of software sold on Xbox is 3rd party. 

     

    Sony's first and 3rd is more sales are more balanced 

     

    Nintendo sales are more first party than 3rd party.

     

    But it's still not a zero sum scenario you portrayed. 

    Oh yeah, those third parties enjoying success on other platforms like GTAV... :D 

     

    I never claimed a zero sum scenario, what are you talking about? :D

    Third parties are actually doing well on Switch.  The Majority of them have been happy with their sales, from Capcom, Bethesda, Take 2, Square Enix. After the failure of the Wiiu... they wanted to test the waters with Switch and so far the titles have sold well.   

     

    Yes Mario Party, Tennis and the B titles did well... but they're not going to be evergreens like Kart, Oddessy and BOTW. 

    An evergreen first party is a Nintendo only phenomenon. :D There's no doubt there's a huge disparity in third parties sales shares if you to compare Nintendo's to Sony or Microsoft's.

    no one denied the appeal of Nintendo first party on their systems.....but its not the a Zero sum scenario as you initially tried to paint it as. 

     

    Not all Nintendo software has long legs... only certain few titles will fall into evergreen status

     

    Other Nintendo Titles will fall down to earth after the first month of sales as with every other software title under the sun. 

     

     

    They still sell well for 'lesser' games, Mario Party passed the one million mark really quickly, Mario Tennis Aces sold well too.

     

    They're doing better than most third parties on the system.

    This is the UK bro.   A title selling 900 more copies in a week can translate to a 90% increase compared to a week ago. 

     

    Is DynamiteCop posting from your account or something? lol

    Nintendo games already have abnormally long legs at retail, selling at full price. This denial of the appeal of first party games on Nintendo console is pure insanity. The majority of consumer buy Nintendo systems for first party games first and foremost.

     

    They enjoy a level of success that it's competitions can only dream of. Even with Sony being arguably at their best right now. BOTW, MK8, SMO are going to continue selling well for years to come. Smash and Pokemon too. In comparison GoW can't even keep up to one holiday season without slashing it's price in half. And it will be bargain binned and forgotten by the next, then hit PS free games line-up by the third holiday season. While BOTW still sell full price. 

     

    How much it cannibalizes on sales of third parties is debatable but there's no way there's no negative impact to an extent.
