It's obviously an emotive topic and Nintendo execs are probably discussing the issue right now. I can see the temptation to do it. Right now they are producing great games, but are forced to sell them to a small userbase that Nintendo had to take an initial loss on, selling them the console in the first place. The idea of selling you games on a much, much larger userbase and letting Sony and MS deal with the initial losses of the razorblade model is very tempting. They've got to be looking at the sales of the current market leaders in third party games and remembering with nostalgia when Mario used to pull those numbers, when he actually had a userbase to sell to.
