So whenever Nintendo is not doing well, there's always someone who predicts that Nintendo will go third party. I have always thought this idea was silly, as Nintendo was never doing so poorly that that would be a necessary option for them. I still don't believe that they will anytime soon, and I didn't want them to either. However, I thought about it some more recently, and came to realize that I love Nintendo for their software, not for their hardware (again, we are only discussing their home consoles here, not their handhelds). I don't think I need to explain why their software is incredible, but their hardware is rather lackluster. Their last two systems have been weak, and centered around a gimmick. That's not to say I didn't enjoy them- as I have very much. But again, that's because of their software.
The truth is, I'd rather play a Nintendo game on an XBox One, with its amazing controller, or the PC with its mods, settings, and everything else. Imagine playing Xenoblade Chronicles X at 1080p 120fps!
So my question to you is, if you are a Nintendo fan, would you mind if they went third party with their console games? Is there something about Nintendo making their own consoles that you enjoy and I may have overlooked?
Also let me remind everyone that we are not here to discuss if you think they will go third party, but if you would like or dislike them going third party. |
I'd much prefer the ability to play my Xbone games on my gamepad so my daughter can watch cartoons with me in the same room.
