If Nintendo quit the console business (seems very unlikely now) then they wouldn't just go away they would be like Sega and switch to software only with their multiple successful franchises.

Sorry but their isn't much chance Nintendo would go third party. A quick glance at Nintendo's history and you will notice Nintendo has always been in controll of where the company is going that mentality is what has kept Nintendo alive all these years. The idea of them becoming dependant on another company by going third party is ludacris.

Nintendo's leaders like Shigeru Miyamoto and Iwata have stated if Nintendo left the hardware industry that would be the end of Nintendo in the software industry. You would never see Mario on the PlayStation or Donkey Kong on the X-Box Nintendo would die before going third party.

Keep in mind Nintendo is an honourable company that seems to still operate much like companies did in Japan a hundred or so years ago. You don't submit to anyone you don't tolerate defeat you die before giving in to an opponent! This mentality is what seperates the great companies from tose that fail. Other companies would gladly accept defeat for profits they would sell out sell their souls but Nintendo fights to the bitter end.

 Nintendo was loosing steam and Microsoft attempted to by them, Nintendo wanted  complete controll of its assets. The second that was refused they turned Microsoft down, no amount of money could buy them. This is why Nintendo will never go third party if Microsoft couldn't buy them nobody can.

 Some will say well that wasn't under Iwata, Iwata would sell, maybe but not likely. It's true that Yamuchi (Spelt wrong) was actually running his families buisness , his families heritage and his families legacy and Iwata may not see as much sentimental value in Nintendo. However that doesn't change the honour Japanese citizens can feel in one of Japan's oldest companies a company that has been around since the days of the imperial army. A company that is at the root of Japan's heritage a company that single handedly made Kyoto a place on the global map!
