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

This would be terrible for gamers. Third parties have spent years telling us all that they cannot compete on any console where Nintendo has a presence, so if Nintendo games suddenly appear where they do business, you'll see publishers and developers shutting down on a daily basis. The Sony and Microsoft consoles would just become boxes to play Nintendo games, which no serious gamer should ever be forced to tolerate.
