its an interesting question and seems to have struck a chord with some people. Some reasons make sense others dont. The Sega comparisons make no sense as they were messing up LONG before they got out the console buisness, Satur and 32x say hi.
No one can say for sure if Ninty would be worst off being 3rd party, because no one here has access to an alternate dimension where that is the reality. So its just speculation on that part.
IMHO in terms of actual advantage over the competition, the only thing Ninty has is being reliable and cheaper, the cheaper part is a double edged sword yes thats good but you get what you paid for which is sometimes a system that is just not as good(online features power etc.) all around. IMHO. Reliability comes with time on the SOny and MS machines something they need to work on.
IMO i dont get it, there is very little Ninty can do on their own systems that they couldnt do on the others. Hell its not like they are really utilzing the gamepad as is. They kinda slacked a bit on the motion itself toward the end of the Wii's life and by then the competition had just as capable motion tech(well maybe not Kinect) N64 and GC were regular consoles.
Im surprised that more people dont want Ninty to go 3rd party. Fact of the matter is Ninty consoles miss out on a LOT of games, thats just a fact and its been that way for a while. Looking at the sales most people are at least 2 console owners anyway. So maybe people dont really mind buying two consoles(i personally dont), but then i would have to ask what difference would it make anyway? Instead of buying two you just buy one.
