I dont think they should either, but knowing Nintendo they will. 

No, I meant they shouldn't adopt x86. It doesn't make sense for them to do so, when they adopt the unified platform they will be the biggest developer for their console(s) by a wide, wide margin. They have every incentive to support their own tool sets which are based in RISC not CISC, and as such they'll be better off with ARM or PPC.

There is no reason for them to bend over for western developers who may or may not even do anything to support Nintendo or want exorbinant amounts of concessions. They'd get better returns on just investing in new western studios, not conforming to burned bridges like Ubi or EA or Acti.

Homogenization of their console would not help them.

Nintendo is not big enough to support a console with their games alone, whats it gonna be one game every 3 months?  Where is your evidence that third parties want "exorbiant amounts of concessions" for putting their games on Nintendo consoles?
