Actually, yes! 3rd parties are the reason consoles exist. Without them, they'd be all but dead!


Many third parties are bailing out of the traditional console model too. 

Konami is out. Square-Enix is hedging more and more towards mobile. 

Companies are not going to support a business structure that could bankrupt them if they have one or two games that don't sell as well as expected. 

Hollywood Studios have that kind of funding, but game development studios don't, not unless you're EA and even EA has recently had monstrous layoffs. 

Then in that case, I'll be done with gaming. I don't want stupid andriod apps running on a console. Also, you're argument has one fatal flaw with it. Its that these companies won't want to develop for this! If they're really moving mobile, that doesn't include Nintendo. Unless nintendo starts making phones, its likely doomed if it doesn't go the "traditional" way.
