Why Nintendo doesn't (CURRENTLY) need third party support.

Also, if Nintendo wanted, they could easily acquire struggling Sega and Capcom to secure historic IPs and apply the Nintendo Midas touch (as far as quality is concerned I mean) to flagging series like Sonic and Resident Evil, and revive the long dead Megaman. Could you imagine if the minds behind arguably the greatest platformer series ever made, had unlimited access to Sonic the Hedgehog?

Real world does not work like that.

Buying them would be massivly costly, intergrading them into ninty would be cotly and be a massive pain in the ass and likely massive loses would happen as it happens.  Puting the ninty touch sounds good but it would take years to reap any benefits while in the mean time costs would be massive as would losses.

Aka your fantasy just sunk Ninty.

ps Ninty makes plenty platformers not maned Mario, and all sale NO where near Mario. 

Nintendo would spend bucketloads on the studio, the talent would leave or get laid off because of redundancy and a team would start work on either one game or another... Meaning, sure, Nintendo could aquire new ips but that doesn't translate into making more games. Unless however, Nintendo then decides to invest even more by creating another team to work on another game. More building space, more payroll, more office supplies ect ect. Or... Nintendo could just suck up to third parties and let them worry about all that... Hmm.. Which is smarter...
