Would it be better for the GAMERS if Nintendo became software only?

[Flanneryaug]

No, Nintendo should continue to develop hardware. Nintendo has done the vast majority of the hardware innovation in gaming(d-pad, analog stick, motion controls, touchscreen controller). When you leave Microsoft and Sony to do the innovation, you get a touchpad on a controller, and a camera that follows you around. If someone wants to play Nintendo games, they should buy the console instead of hoping they fail and go 3rd party.
