XBox has no momentum outside of the US market. Nintendo has more global appeal if they'd just stop making sh*tty hardware and gambling the farm on gimmicks rather than sound, appealling hardware design.
I think they need to pivot back and acknowledge to some degree that they do need to compete head on.
Simply handing over the entire core market to Sony and MS is just not a workable solution in my opinion, because basically your only other recourse that's left is to then bank on a gimmick miracle, and that's basically gambling.
Microsoft CAN be beaten by Nintendo if they released a much better piece of hardware (not hard considering the XB1 was a weak piece of kit even for 2013) and make more inroads globally.

Are u sure Nintendo has more global appeal? Nintendo has always been primarily about America+Japan, Wii is the only home console to be a big success outside of those 2 regions.

France and Germany (two of three larger Euro markets) seem Nintendo friendly, France especially. Nintendo franchises are popular there. They just won't accept a crappy Nintendo console however.
UK is a tough one for Nintendo, but they could make inroads there too if they are smart and have better hardware than XB1.
They should consider teaming up with EA to make a FIFA-Mario crossover game (ie: sorta like the Mario Soccer series but have other popular footballers like Messi, Ronaldo, etc. as playable characters too).
