Those who wish for Nintendo to become 3rd party are not realistic anyway.

Smarter fans hope for Nintendo to partner up with Sony or MS (not a buyout or merger, more like a lengthy contract 6-10 yr agreement), so that they would have influence on the console, and tech specs, online etc would not be an obstacle anymore.

No, just no. Anybody that wants Nintendo games on Sony or MS consoles wants that because they don't like what Nintendo do with their hardware. They want Sony/MS hardware, with no Nintendo influence at all.

Not direct, but look at the controller for example. 90% of the PS4 and Xbox One controllers features were made mainstream by nintendo.
