@Derixs: Nintendo are not shooting themselves in the foot. They're making billions in profit and gaining tons of brand recognition in the process.

You have not yet given any good reason why Nintendo should get rid of hardware.

 

 I think they could focous more on the games, but like the posts before if they build an know how the system works they can use it to the full potential. Dont get me wrong I love my Wii and DSi.

It's not just knowing "how the system works".  In the case of the Wii, they built hardware specifically to do motion control.  In order to support the games they wanted to make.  That can't happen when they don't build their own hardware.  You're really missing the point here.
