I really should just ignore post like yours.
Dont patronize me kid.
I do think you are clueless and laic in the issues discussed, and blind by your unrealistic admiration to Nintendo.
You did attacked me before I said anything about you. You said I were clueless and stubborn.
And now you are the one trying to pretend is a victim.
The *facepalm* posts were neither nice nor constructive, but when posting outrageous claims with only unclear reasoning and without fleshed out arguments that is what you can expect. I have to say, these quotes above taken together comes off as whining. It's not so much the phrases themselves, as their frequency (almost every post contains one) and the fact that you have not really met a single of Onyxmeth's argument in any satisfactory way. Arguing with you does not lead to anything but you whining, it seems.

A major source of income for Nintendo (as well as Sony and Microsoft I assume) has always been the licensing fees from 3rd party games. In the SNES days it was around $10 per per game (I think), but I'm not sure what they are today. The Gamecube (at 22 million) shipped over 200 million games. And that's Nintendo's least successful console ever. I guess around half that figure is Nintendo's own games, so that would mean they got around $1 billion (assuming licensing fees are still the same) WITHOUT LIFTING A FINGER. Assuming the console and the 1st party games all just break even, this would still be pure profits.
This money is not something they can easilly make up if they go third party. That and they have no control over the hardware, which means they cannot make the games they want. They also have no control over peripherals, by that I mean that they can not make 'official' peripherals, which is a huge part of their current business model.
People have always bought Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games. If you want Nintendo games, you buy a Nintendo console/handheld. That's why 1st party titles sell such huge amounts. There really is no reason to believe that Nintendo game sales would skyrocket, or even profit from, being on Microsoft and Sony platforms.
When you are on a roll, like they are now, radically changing your business model to something completely different is not advisable. That's what you do when things are slowing down or starting to turn for the worse. ... Like Sony, that has run into huge losses with their latest iteration of Playstation. They invested a lot in technology that, according to sales, the customers do not really want or need. If anyone needs to rethink their strategy, it's Sony.
