LOL don't expect 3rd party to come running if they released this console. The fact is 3rd parties are long gone. So your idea of this 3rd console for 3rd parties would be moot.
Nintendo's first mistake was selling up the IPs they had with RARE, should have bought them out.
Then they could have created some internal studios, or even outsourced to ones who demonstrate wanting to work well on a Nintendo system like a Shin'en with their eshop efforts.
They would have had a fantastic 1st party launch on Wii, with a KI, Perfect Dark and a Banjo, on top of what already come out. Then second year launch mario, zelda, third year smash, cart and a metroid.
These extra franchises in hand would allow Nintendo to take risks and try and create a new ip (kind of like uncharted started slow and then it become big) Then naughty dog become more respectable and the last of us was born. If the new IP failed miserably then no biggie as they would had a good amount of established adult IP in their hands as backup.
Hell they didn't even put in offers for any of the THQ IPs up for sale. Could have picked up some nice cheap IPs and made them their own.
