nintendo first Party games exclusive on xbox one would be megatron

imho they should do that.

still running the handheld Business by theire own
but dont build another home console.

what do they get in return?
Server infrastructure, help for development and all profits as Publisher and no game royalties

what will they loose? Profits form home console Hardware sales. but they dont even have that right now.

 

Nintendo could also act as a huge second party just like the Pokemon Company and GameFreak is to Nintendo. This way Nintendo can make whatever games they were going to make if they still had a game system and Microsoft would always let Nintendo know what kind of development kit the Xbox has and how to use it.

In fact, Nintendo can still make their weaker console that is the $250 price as long as it uses the agreed Xbox/Nintendo controller and the games are easy to port for the Xbox machine. This way, consumers with limited money can buy the cheaper Nintendo box if they can't buy the $400+ Xbox console.

In the perfect world, though: Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony will do well and would not have to merge/buy each other.

Or even better yet, just do this. Just make the next console a more traditional console that's just a bit weaker and less expensive. That way they can still keep the price down which will drive sales but still allow them to have 3rd party games. 

Don't bother merging with anybody, just stay out of the specs race and don't try and reinvent the wheel with every console. Problem solved.
