Fanboys... ASSEMBLE!

That's debatable. As I said, a vast majority of the NES library was complete garbage, too.

I mean, if a console has 800 games (or 1200), how many of them really have to be legendary? I'm sure as hell not going to buy more than fifty games for any given console anyway. You need those shitty, low-investment/high-return games to grease the wheels of the market. Nintendo seems to have learned that lesson, finally. They were turning profits forever, but Sony pulverized them for ten years in overall marketshare. Nintendo spent almost two decades in a love-hate relationship with any developer that the company itself had no controlling interest in. In the NES years, they dominated developers with forced exclusivity contracts, ridiculously draconian content control and inflated licensing fees. That was why when Sega came out with the Genesis and offered developers a much more relaxed business environment, they were able to keep pace with the Nintendo juggernaut. Finally, they came up against Sony, which took away that key advantage of greater resources, and Nintendo spent a decade at the rear of the pack.
