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

they lost 3/4s of their value.

They used to have 8billion in cash, its around 3 now if i remember corectly.  

Ninty fans act like they are inviceble, but they have been hit hard after the wii/ds success.  Next gen could make or break them.  Or they can just live of toys and give up game development.  While selling rights to their franchises to the highest bidder.

 

Would never happen, lol. Why wouldn't just make those games themselves? They're not going to make just toys with a staff of thousands of game programmers/artists/designers etc. 

 

Same reason sega is sitting on ips doing nothing, it costs loads.

If they lose most of their cash on the NX, how would they fun their games ?
