Nintendo is stuck in a hole.  They can continue to dominate the market with just the profits from their first party line up.  But they'll never have the full market penetration of a PS2 or SNES if they don't appeal to third parties.  This is why I think they'll be releasing a more graphics focused console (like the GameCube) in 2012.

So, you want Nintendo to do what they did with GC and fail again? WTF

The difference is, Nintendo made the GameCube to specifically try to appeal to third parties, at a time when the N64 had already pushed them away and the PS2 was destined to get 95% of al third party support.

At this time, Nintendo is virtually half the market just themselves and the Wii was by far the most successful system, even without third parties.  If they chose this time to actually appeal to this parties and make a graphically powerful system, it would work.  Unlike on the GameCube.
