Edit: Sorry for the title edit. I was trying to find something that would fit, my original title was way too long!

I just got done watching Spike's Live Stream show; they were talking about Nintendo's E3 Direct Press Conference. It was going well, understandbly these guys weren't all surprised at what Nintendo showed. But then Geoff (or whatever) brought up a point that struck a long conversation with their guests.

It was now no longer a discussion about Nintendo's Conference, it was a discussion about "I can't wait for Nintendo to go onto mobile!!!1!!" or, "Won't it be awesome when Iwata walks onto Sony's stage and says "Here is the next Zelda!", that'll trend on Twitter!" And they were salivating at these thoughts, pretty much. How in the world could these "Industry Pros" get so worked up for this? They want a company (a big company) to fail and go Third Party. Seriously, it's disgusting to see that.

Did anyone else see this Stream? Or does anyone else differ/share my opinions? I'm interested.

I don't see how this is new.

People have wanted Nintendo games since 1983.

People haven't wanted Nintendo consoles since 1995.

They want the games but not the consoles. Nothing new.

I never said it was new. But it just hit me when I was watching this stream. How could people want a large company to fail just to get something that is already available for them to get, but on a different platform?

On those other platforms you get things Nintendo platforms lack?

On Nintendo platforms you get other things other platforms lack. Every platform has something the other lacks.

Nintendo consoles don't sell to Nintendo fans.

What could Sony or MS offer on a Nintendo console if they went 3rd party? Nothing, because 3rd party companies don't bother with Nintendo consoles.

Sony and MS would offer up a larger selection of games to Nintendo platforms if they went Third Party. This is just exactly what Nintendo would do if they went Third Party.

I'll be worried when video game industry wants Nintendo to succeed.

A company going third party isn't a failure. Sometimes it's the best option. And how nintendo is so far, thrid party might be best for them. They have good games, but they don't make enough of them for me to invest $350 into a turd box that I will use for maybe 2 months.
