Nintendo's revenue will decrease if it goes third party.

Revenue is money made by business activities, simple as that, expenses have nothing to do with it.

So this expressions you used

"hopefully making revenue"

makes no sense. To not make revenue Nintendo would have to literally not sell anything.

Profit is revenue  minus expenses. Which is what a majority of people are here seem to be talking about. There is other ways to not make revenue as well, aka spending more than you make. Revenue is required to keep a business running. You can have revenue and not profit (it's pointless to even try if this the scenario), but you can't have profit without revenue. It's a mutually exclusive pairing. 

You're just heavily confused on the subject.

Considering Nintendo's current revenue and profit are based on sales of hardware and software, if they went straight software their revenue stream would be majorly cut off for a few years (you can't make that up on software quickly). Though with that there is now less expenses, but it still would eat at Nintendo for a few years. 

No, I'm not confused at all. And no the bolded is not possible. Read your own link, it explains it.

I understand and know all those things you've mentioned, for gods sake I study them.

My simple point is that you've, twice now, said something about revenue that makes no sense.

1. Nintendo doesn't need to hope that they make revenue, they'd literally have to stop selling anything for them to not make any revenue.

2. Spending more than you make does not mean you're not making revenue. It means you're making an Operating Loss. The revenue is still very much there.
