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.

ya except Nintendo makes a huge chunk of its profit through its consoles while microsoft and sony sold them for a loss for a long time hoping software sales would negate it. 360 is my favorite console but I honestly wouldn't mind them leaving the hardware market and developing games for nintendo and sony. Less consoles for me to buy but then again it would cause less competition which could be bad for the industry as a whole.

It's my opinion buddy and out of the big 3 they are the one I would love to see turn publisher only the same way Sega did. Even though I would rather Sega & Nintendo to just switch places. Of course they were going to make money from the start all the tech used in the Wii was more common and cheap at the time. That is a big part in why the Wii is showign its age so soon. Advantage as far as profit goes in the long run but also a disadvantage against competitors in the long run as well. It helped Nintendo but it is now hurting them. Either way this was my opinion.
