It is rather remarkable how many of the Xbox and PlayStation players there are that still love Nintendo's games despite not owning their console. If Nintendo ever does go third party, honestly I think their software would climb to insane heights.

Dude, you're completely right.  They've got a whole world full of people that want to play their games; it's just that too many of them don't feel like shelling out three hundred bucks just to be able to do it, and I can't say I blame them.  Nintendo would make the most ridiculous amounts of money if they went third party.

Sony and Microsoft too.

Microsoft and Sony already don't have to struggle to get people to buy their consoles.  I don't see how they would benefit as much as Nintendo would.

From what I recall Nintendo made 65% of their videogame profits on the hardware and 35% on the software. How exactly would benifit more than the others?

That might have been true when they were in their Wii hay day.  But right now, and even the generations before that, people just don't want their systems.  Most gamers will gladly buy their Playstations and their Xboxes, but they don't want to drop the money on a system just to play Nintendo games.  At the end of this gen when the Wii U has sold poorly to modestly and the other systems have sold 80 million or whatever, there's going to be no denying that Nintendo would have made more money just releasing third party.  Especially when you consider all the R&D and effort that went into a system that never got very popular.

I really don't understand how this is even a question.  Their systems (apart from Wii, which I honestly believe was a one-time thing) are struggling to stay relevant.  Sony and Microsoft are both in powerful positions and don't even need to consider going third party.
