Idk u also have to take into account money they make from consoles, controllers, accessories, and they no longer make 100% back on digital sales.

FY 2012-2014 are the only times that Nintendo has posted losses and alot of that comes from them selling their hardware at a loss for pretty much the first time. Basically as long as Nintendo hardware is sold at a profit than Nintendo makes a profit so I see no need for them to go third party in the near future.

Because they miss out on huge amounts of software sales by keeping their games exclusive to a console with a very limited install base. Also they could still make controllers and accessories. They could easily sell Amiibo on ps4/xone for example, plus a tablet controller, motion controller you name it.

Also Nintendo could easily strike a deal with either Sony or Microsoft that would lower or even dismiss any royalty's they would have to pay. 

Well that's why I think Nintendo should simply unify their console and handheld markets by making a single unified platform available in 2-3 different form factors (console, portable, tablet) that share a software library.

Games like Tropical Freeze, 3D World, etc. would sell much, much better if they also had the 3DS install base to sell to, so this fixes that problem and since Nintendo wouldn't be forced to make 2 seperate entries of all their major franchises they could now start to diversify and make new ip at a faster rate, increasing their chances of creating the next Pokemon or Minecraft style craze among children.
