It probably wouldn't be as bad of an idea as some people think. The traditional console model doesn't work for Nintendo and I doubt it ever will again.

But they wouldn't really need Valve or Steam. They could do this on their own.

They could just release a box that had a PC GPU + CPU + say the Wii U or NX chipset integrated. RAM, disc drive, wireless, etc. is shared on the device. Release it in the West, screw Japan.

Third parties don't really have to "port" anything as their PC games would run on the machine by default. Nintendo could just set it up so that to buy a game you can only buy it through their eShop.

If a third party game sells, then the third party gets the profit with Nintendo keeping a $5-$10 licensing fee. Nintendo games just run straight off the NX chip. Works for everyone involved I think.

Have the standard NX whatever console, this could just be some additional form factor of it. 


This is exactly what i was trying to say, but people didn't get it.
