Wondering how many first party titles Nintendo puts out a year and which consoles or handhelds it has predominantly concentrated on? Well, data mastermind ZHugeEX has put together a graph showing just that. As you can see, in recent times it has been the Nintendo 3DS where Nintendo has put most of its effort into from a first party standpoint. This makes sense considering its been the most profitable of the two current platforms.
This may be interesting for some-

Sorry to go OT but, if you guys know, will there be another Invenstor Meeting today (with Q&A)? Nobody seems to talk about it so, maybe I just dream about it?
Ok, found it, is starting right now in Japan : )
That’s interesting. If I was an investor I’d have a lot of questions.
Yes, me too. My question would be “WTF NINTENDO?”
haha
“This makes sense considering its been the most profitable of the two current platforms.” Of course it’s more profitable. It (the 3DS) got more games and thus more people bought it. The lack of games caused Wii U to not be profitable. It didn’t launch as automatically less profitable. This just goes along with what I wrote on Nintendo Life though. I wrote about the 3DS getting treated like the crown jewel whilst the Wii U was the bastard child.
Exactly. Many of us have been defending this point of view, although some blind fans insist that the 3DS was not the reason by which the “Wii U, the best home console Nintendo ever released” performed so badly. They blame the “biased media which constantly underestimate the outstanding Nintendo 1st party titles” and the “industry, which doesn’t want Nintendo to be successful”.
OK, then.
Ugh! Did I really use to think like that myself? Was I that much of a paranoid Nintendo fan? *shudders* Glad those days are long gone.

So 2004 was Nintendo’s best year for software, eh? Not the Wii/DS generation?
Colour me surprised (and I’m not even factoring in the grey areas (what ARE the grey areas representing anyway?).
Nevermind. It’s GameCube. I didn’t see that properly.
😄😄😄
The GBA was running strong with all those Mario spin-offs.
so what’s going on with Nintendo?
I love my 3DS… but I also hate it. Mixed emotions are a bitch! :/
Honestly I love 3ds but I can’t get over how good the Ds was compared to it. I mean there’s still games on Ds that I have yet to play which are great and that says a lot lol
