Why do people think that Nintendo could go or should go third-party?

People who say this are ignorant and don't understand Nintendo as a company. I really don[t want to write paragraphs on the idea as i've done before. I'll sum it up though. NO...JUST NO.

And the award for tolerance goes toooooo...

OT: probably cause Nintendo consistently make great games but tend to hit or miss their consoles, unlike Xbox and PS who's consoles sale consistently well, but their software is irregular in critical acclaim.

Yes, sales numbers are important but Nintendo has always stated that they're not focused on sales. They're always about trying something different with hardware and software and for Nintendo to be tied to hardware that they didn't develop would be like making Bethesda make Skyrim on Nintendo 64. It would be possible but uncomfortable. Nintendo's hardware is the first thing that comes to mind when they develop games. They try to innovate. No, it doesn't always work. Yes, Wii U is a poorly selling console but Nintendo is still making money. Their goal is to entertain, surprise, and excite while making money. I think Nintendo is at a good spot right now.
