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

Nintendo games also tend to be beautifully harmonized with their hardware, a kind of harmony that only really comes from exclusivity. If they had to develop cross platform this would be lost.

I don't know about this as it's hard to judge one way or another.

Going third party doesn't mean you have to develop cross platform and as I menioned in my OP I've never seen any evidence that EAD has much input into the console design.

They may not have hardware input, but they still fit their games to the hardware wonderfully.

Then they'd have no problem doing this on any piece of hardware. From what we've heard Sony engages third party devs extensively throughout the console's design.
