Don't get why some people are so against the idea of Nintendo going 3rd party. Sure, on the one hand it could lead to a decline in quality ala sega but, for arguments sake, what ifi it didn't and they improved? What if being free of the trappings of having to innovate for the sake of it (every time they release a console) actually creates a situation where they can just concentrate on quality games cos that's all they have to worry about for once? I don't agree with the argument that they wouldn't care and wouldn't strive to innovate if they weren't trying to sell their own hardware. They still wanna sell games right, so I'm sure they'd still try their best to maintain a certain quality. There's no reason it can't happen and there's no reason they couldn't release the same whack periferals for other consoles, to enhance their gaming experiences anyway. I for one would be happy to only have to buy a Sony console for once damit! Let's face it, Nintendo are better game makers than console makers these days anyway. And have been for quite a while. The whole 'we don't need to make machines as powerful as our competitors cos our games sell anyway, cos of innovations in gameplay blah blah blah' ain't working for them anymore.
