Less financial incentives for 3rd party developers means less games for me to buy.
Excessive profits on hardware mean the system is more expensive than it should be to buy.

So unless you think that buying something is overpriced with less games isn't a negative for consumers, I think your wrong. Admittedly, such arguments may not prove correct for all consumers, but they are still negatives.

Goodness.

Moneyhatting is not something that necessarily benefits consumers. Lack thereof is not something that harms consumers: the fact that extra incentives have to be leveraged in order to bring third parties to make certain projects on the PS360 speaks as to one of the worse states of the industry.

Profits on hardware are not harmful to consumers. Nintendo has set a value proposition. Over fifty million people have accepted it. That is all there is.

The fact that Nintendo does not meet your value propositions does not mean that they are trying to screw over consumers, much less that "they've done it better than any other company"
