The financials behind Nintendo going 3rd party

I dont think this is true.  Games like Assassins Creed dont meet high quality standards becuse Ubisoft dont give a damn about shoving garbage out the door in order to make money.  There are literally hundreds of examples of multiplatform games going out accross multiple platforms and being polished.  Hell, even Ubisoft manage it themselves with titles like Rayman.

Nintendo going third party wouldn't meana drop in quality.  Nintendo would just do what they always do and release a game when its ready, not when some big wigs tell them to (even if its unfinished and buggy).

Nintendo already does that. The Legend of Zelda for Wii U is getting delayed and the game is being developed for just one console.

Now imagine Nintendo trying to develop it for 3 "similar" consoles. That would mean even more delays. High quality games take time but trying to achieve that level of quality in 3 platforms isn't easy.

It's all about the quality man.
