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

Tell me, OP, how do you justify MS or Sony's continued existence in the console market?

One of them leaving is a much more compelling prospect.

If Sony went third party I would be fine with that because a great game is a great game.  However I would want them to keep making their consoles as well because their consoles are actually good.  

 

A game is a game.  A console is a console.  

Nintendo consoles are distinctly unique from the corporate twins.

Two consoles that similar aren't needed. The only needlessly divide gamers.

Imagine if the competition was between Nintendo's ond school style of consoles, versus, say... only the PS4. Gaming would be interesting again.

We can both agree that Microsoft joined the console race souly to leech off of Sony's market share whereas Nintendo expanded gaming by making it good (NES) and casual (Wii), and Sony expanded it by bringing gaming to adults (PS1, PS2).  Yes I think Microsoft should stick to PC.

But don't act like Mario wouldn't work just as well on other consoles (Mario Games on Wii U use a standard controller).
