Did Microsoft just force Nintendo's hand?

Nintendo doesn't give poops about what MS or Sony are doing at this point.

They're not in that ball game anymore and haven't been for a while. 

They're having enough headaches trying to deal with the impact of smartphones/tablets eating away their strongholds of the kids market/casual/beginner players.

Yes they are in the same ball game, they just screwed up by losing the third parties after trying to court them in 2012.

(See the Nintendo conference E32012)

To fans they are, but fans are kinda like cold war soldiers who don't know when a war is over. 

Nintendo hasn't reacted to anything MS or Sony have done in a long time. They simply don't care, in fact Sony/MS are the lesser of Nintendo's headaches right now. I gauruntee you they are more frustrated and worried about smartphone/tablet gaming but they simply right now don't know what to do about it other than double down on the the things they are familiar with (more Mario, more IPs, more family marketing). 

Nintendo probably pines for the days when all they had to worry about were Sony/MS, things were a lot easier back then.
