As I said in the Sega fans thread--Nintendo..IMO would be better off as a software only publisher. Let Sony and Microsoft duck it out in the hardware race and let Nintendo publish their games on those systems. Only games worthwhile on a Nintendo platform are typically from them so makes most sense IMO.

Nintendo is only the most innovative hardware company out there.  I'm not a fan of motion controls, but the big N has been the creators that have pushed this industry forward as a whole.  They are the first to bring the following things mainstream to consoles:

D-pad

shoulder buttons

3D platformers

analog sticks

wireless controllers (that actually work)

motion controls

 

They have also been the forerunners in the portable industry.  So, I guess I disagree with the hate for NIntendo.  They need to continue to create hardware and innovate.  I probably shouldn't even be in this thread anyways, as I see no reason for any company to leave, and I'm not mainly a Microsoft fan, but I, like the thread creator, like reading other people's thoughts.  I just disagree that Nintendo should leave.  I think their first party software would even suffer as a result as they generally release software to coincide with their hardware.
