Why are some Nintendo fans so opposed to going third party?

Simple: because consoles are integral part of their business.

If Nintendo goes third party any day, it will be through partnership with another company for a new device and NOT simply as a developer for other companies machines

I may hint that they´re already preparing themselves for that.

And your hint is based on?

I maybe just a rumor, but remember that Nintendo had concepts and projects of motion controls, user avatars (miis) , online content distribution and online gaming since early 80´s.

They´re probably experimenting with tablet gaming or something else right now.
