Another solid reason why Nintendo should go the way of third parties. People want Nintendo games, not Nintendo consoles. It's been like this since the N64.

And what would Nintendo gain from this, financially?


Uh, huge sales from the 80 million install base in current gen consoles such as PS3 and 360. The PS4 and Xbone will probably have the same at the end of the future gen cycle.

The original Wii was a fluke, no way will Nintendo ever pass 30 million with the Wii U.

This really shouldn't be controversial, experts like Pacher have advocated this for years.

I've thought about this, and I think the quality of their games would take a serious hit. While they develop their own hardware, their developers can have a say in building a machine with the tools and architecture they want to work with. If their quality stayed up to par, then it wouldn't be an issue for me, bu they're so damn rich it can't happen any time soon.
