Such a transition could perhaps have some short term benefits, but in the longer run it could actually be very harmful to Nintendo. Look at Sega in comparison. As a combined hardware and software company Sega was one of the main driving forces behind the industry, as a software company Sega has a completely different agenda. And to me there is a quality difference between Sega today and Sega of the 1990s. There is no way Sega woould have produced mediocre Sonic-games in the 90's, because they knew that the main purpose of Sonic was to drive hardware sales (they could not afford a bad game).

I believe we would see reduced software quility from Nintendo if they became a third party. Some games would of course be amazing still, but there would still be a difference.


you obviously never played Knuckles Choatix for 32x
