A somewhat more practical problem:
Nintendo would not, under their current philosophy, ever go for this. Microsoft and Sony are a tremendous maybe, but not Nintendo.
The whole point of Nintendo taking the stance they do is somewhat similar to Apple: control of both hardware and software allows them to tailor software particular to their hardware, and allows hardware to be designed around software ideas. It's been stated by Iwata that that is why they will never go third party: it's not just the money they collect from games published on their platforms, but that they are not willing to give up that element of control and work within someone else's system.
