Would Nintendo be more profitable as a third party publisher?

[magoghm]

It seems to me that right now Nintendo isn't doing bad at all as a publisher. Here is the data about next-gen games sold so far by the major publishers:

Nintendo: 0m PS4 + 13.66m WiiU + 0m XOne = 13.66m

Activision: 1.74m PS4 + 1m WiiU + 1.35m XOne = 4.09m

Ubisoft: 1.27m PS4 + 1.98m WiiU +  0.68m XOne = 3.93m

Electronic Arts:  1.82m PS4 + 0.21m WiiU + 1.11m XOne = 3.14m

Microsoft: 0m PS4 + 0m WiiU +2.13m XOne = 2.13m

Sony: 1.7m PS4 + 0m WiiU + 0m XOne = 1.7m

Even with the very low sales of WiiU consoles, Nintendo has sold over 20% more next-gen games than Activision, Ubisoft, and Electronic Games combined.
