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

The problem is, a lot of Nintendo games are designed with specific kinds of hardware in mind. The most notable example is stuff like Super Mario 64, which would have been virtually unplayable on a Saturn or original PlayStation controller. So if Nintendo went software only, we'd see a decline in the creativity and quality of Nintendo products.

Would it be worth getting Nintendo on your third party friendly platform if it meant sacrificing what makes Nintendo games capable of moving hardware single-handedly?

LOL How?  They added dual analogs very quickly, and I have played that game using the directionals on an xperia play with no problems whatsoever.

 

IMO, Nintendo controlers have always been a complete mess with the exception of the Wii, Wii U considering those ones are debatable.

Would Playstation and Saturn have adapted to dual analogs, if Nintendo haven't brought them first and showed with a game that they work? That is the point here. Also the controller probably wasn't a total mess, if the competition was inspired by it.
