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.

I can see it:

Activision: "We'll launch CoD: Whatever  on the 12th of November...

Nintendo: "What a coincidence, we'll launch the next Mario Kart that same day"

Activision: "Uh... Did we said November? No, no, we meant December, yeah the 12th of December"

Nintendo: "Isn't that a coincidence? That's when a new 2D Mario will go on sale too"

Activision: "Shit!"

Nintendo: "Don't worry, for the next year we'll only have our less successful franchises, Metroid and Pikmin... with a new 3D Mario, and for the next one Smash Bros, Zelda and Donkey Kong.

3rd Parties: "F*ck"

 

Honestly no for the reasons that have already been said: competition, innovation, why Nintendo and not the others, etc.
