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...


Then how do you explain the non-realistic games that both Microsoft and Sony make?

If there are any artistic looking games on either of those systems, they don't sell well at all! Nothing like how Nintendo titles sell on their own platforms. A game like Pikmin would be lucky if it sold 300-400,000 copies on PS4. These systems are 3rd party driven and only mainstream games sell in big numbers, to where even Sony's 1st party games don't outsell the yearly 3rd party games. So how would you expect Nintendo to come in and do on Sony's platform what they themselves can not?

Nintendo would be an extremely niche brand on Xbox or Playstation and to think that every core Nintendo fan will go out and buy a Playstation or Xbox to play Nintendo games is reaching. Believe it or not, having more choices in the gaming industry helps to keep each company competitive. This is the whole reason that Sony got overtaken in the electronics segment, because competition brought in cheaper comparable products of similar quality.
