Like I said, I'm sure it makes a difference, but I would be willing to bet it's not a big enough of one for Companies to need it other wise you wouldn't see Nintendo doing this, and I'm willing to bet you'll see the other companies follow suit soon. LP'ers should be happy Nintendo's willing to let them profit.
That last part kills me. This is not a popular stance among game developers and all it's going to do is discourage people from playing Nintendo games. Chances are almost no one is going to follow in Nintendo's stance. Nintendo is fucking them over pretty hard, considering the HUGE amount of companies who are totally LP friendly.
Also no one is going to lose any sales unless:
Your game is terrible (which is good because the consumer is informed)
Your game is literally a movie
You do not get the full experience of a game unless you PLAY a game.
