So, the op is assuming people that have bought nintendo consoles would not be willing to buy Xbox or playstation to play nintendo games?

Most of them would probably buy a new console, but with higher production costs and more merketing behind every game, would that loyal fan base be enough if Nintendo went 3rd party? Clearly, going by similar games sold on PS and XB, the market isn't huge for Nintendo like games on those systems.


No, I am sure nintendo would have a very sizable market to work with.  A loyal fan base with a larger base of owners from which to grow that fanbase would almost assuredly mean more software sells.  I am not actually one that says nintendo needs to go third party, as I think they are fine as they are, at least at the moment.  However, that doesn't mean I can't see the potential for growth such a move would make.  Hardware has never really been nintendos strength...
