Well, it can't be helped I guess. I don't think any third party developer is ready to back up the GC 100%. If you look at it from a financial standpoint then you'd see that the risk is too large. You must realize that Sony pays a lot more money to companies to put games on their system. While Nintendo's game sales might be nice, I think most developers look at the ratio of how much they make from each title and base their decision on that fact. I would personally love to see the GC get at least one exclusive RPG franchise but, as Kashima said, this is the only prime reason that I have a PS2 as a back-up system for the many RPG's that pass up the GC.
I personally think Nintendo should once again pool their talents to make a great, NEW turn-based RPG franchise, like the did with Earthbound on the SNES. I know Fire Emblem is on the way, but I'm talking about making Nintendo's own original "Final Fantasy-esque" game. Maybe if other companies see that Nintendo finally has a strong RPG foundation then they would be more encouraged to release their own RPG titles to capitalize on the newly earned fan-base. Plus, I'd love to see Nintendo's creativity and ingenuity implemented in a unique RPG experience the like of which no one's ever seen.
