 Do we really need 3 hardware manufacturers doing the exact same thing more or less? 


But if Nintendo did what you said and paired their IP with the same third party support/hardware/online structure as the other two, they wouldn't BE the same thing. Nintendo would really be unstoppable imo. I mean, Mario AND games like Halo? A system that every single demograph would want to own? Think about it... that doesn't exist. It's either own a Nintendo system for the family, a PS4 or Xbone for the teenagers and dads, or own both. There isn't a system that caters to every single demograph. If Nintendo could do it, they would have the entire market cornered.

Nintendo need luck to convince most of the players that their next nintendo console is the best place to play every games.  It's not about having it and that's it.  Xbox has every third party games and still lack behind.   Once you are associated to a console to play your favorite franchise, it's very hard to make them change.  MS has managed to steal some from Sony but at what cost? spending a lot of money something that I doubt nintendo are willing to do.
