I didn't watch the conference,  but based on your description, this doesn't sound like "wanting the demise of Nintendo".  It sounds like they want to see Nintendo IP on other platforms.

I'd love to see Nintendo become a third party publisher.  They've always had great titles.  On the other hand, they haven't produced a console that I really wanted to have since the N64 (I bought and own a Wii, but that's a story for another day..)

Of the big three console manufacturers, it makes the most sense for Nintendo to go third party.  They have the most famous names in gaming.  Names that will sell on any platform. 

Nintendo would make far more money selling their titles on all other platforms - Playstations, XBox's, iPads, and so on.  This was their plan once upon a time with Sony, but things broke down when squabbles over revenue sharing and executive egos on both sides got in the way.  It's now 20 years later than they planned to do it, but I still think it's the right business move for them.

If Nintendo is the best of the 3 at making money in the gaming business, why in hell should they be the ones out of the 3 to exit the race?

I'm sorry if your post makes absolutely zero sense whatsoever.
