I agree.. hardware is important but GAMES are more important and nintendo does need more developers 3rd or 2nd party.. they really should acquire Platinum Games, Sega, or Capcom.. they need help cause they can't make games fast enough as it is .. and they don't make games that appeal to a wide enough audience.. but without extra support (3rd or 2nd or 1st) nintendo is not curing its weakest link.


Well the other thing I would say to that is maybe Nintendo really doesn't have ambitions of "winning" the console war. They simply want to make a nice sized profit. 

Unifiying the platforms should ease some of the software release they have though. 

Here are reasons for acquiring more talent (i. e. monolith, next level, intelligent studios, gamefreak, Rare, Retro studios)

1. It would strengthen the nintendo brand by having "exclusives" that are unique to the company purchased i.e. street fighter, megaman, resident evil, monster hunter, devil may cry, bayonetta, 

2. It would fill the void or droughts due to selling Rare and losing 3rd parties to sony/xbox

3. It would widen appeal and in turn may create more "nintendo" fans and more system and game sales.

4. newly acquired studios games may be a gateway "drug" to nintendo properties 

5. newly acquired studios would help nintendo with inhouse games and HD DEVELOPMENT

6. Will help develop for either unified or two separate systems

In summary, acquiring more talent (developers) will kill multiple birds with ONE STONE!  I dont see how nintendo cant profit from THis
