They would most likely buy a Nintendo handheld device to get their Nintendo games or is the OP suggesting that Nintendo would just magically cease to exist in hardware altogether... If Nintendo were forced to make most of their current core franchises look realistic for the sake of being on Playstation or Xbox systems, yes they would likely lose the people who are currently buying their software. Most people buy Nintendo games because they are fun and different from what the others provide, if that's lost then there's really no reason to buy their games anymore...


Why would Nintdndo's core franchises be forced to look realistic just because they released on Playstation/Xbox? There is absolutely no reason for that. It's just silly. Do you think Sony/MS would completely vaste the value of those IPs just for fun? Heck, even assuming that for some inceomprehensibly stupid reason Sony/MS wanted to try and force Nintendo to make realistic games from their core IPs, you don't thinkNintendo would have any as to what they want to develop? And that is ignoring the fact that neither Sony nor MS would force Nintendo to make the games realistic.

Once again because these are the types of games that sell on these systems! This isn't even a theory at this point, Nintendo style games or anything similar don't sell on Microsoft or Sony platforms. FFXV doesn't even look like a Final Fantasy game because it's trying to draw in a bigger audience that only cares about the games visuals. If Nintendo should have as much say in what they create as you suggest then my guess is that Nintendo would just stay in the hardware business at that point...
