I think at some point they will go third party.  Unless they decide to compete hardware wise with Sony and MS (which would make the platform have more 3rd party titles on) they will just fade into obscurity at least where home consoles are concerned.  Handhelds is a different kettle of fish however.  

So for me they either go two ways:

They put all of their efforts into the handheld market and pull out of consoles altogether 

They keep the handheld market as it is and develop console games for other hardware.  

I don't want them to become another Sega, but Nintendo are rapidly becoming archaic in their approach to everything. 

Nintendo would be fine with a Wii U like console without the gamepad. A cheap "no nonsense console" from Nintendo would sell 30 million easily and would make Nintendo profits.

 

Nintendo is not in direct competition with MS and Sony. They are doing their own thing and once they realize they need to be cheap to succeed they will succeed. 300$ for a Wii U when you can get an Xbox One for 350$...... Very few people are going to take the Wii U.... 

Very true!And this is why a price cut can be benignant(Not miraculous) for wii u and some are not expect it to be...Plus to your comment,''that some want it as a secondary console!:P
