Would Nintendo survive if they went 3rd party?

Just out of curiosity, which Nintendo games do u guys think will sell much better on PS/XB?

Is there a big audience for platformers, kart racers, party games, life simulators, puzzle games, turn based Strategy/RPGs on PS/XB?

I'd assume the bolded would do a fair bit better. There are simply many many more of those kinds of games on PS consoles so they'd have the existing Nintendo audience to sell to (because let's face it they're not going to stop buying Nintendo games just because they go 3rd party) as well as people who are fans of those games but wouldn't buy a Nintendo console for the few that they had when there were already plenty on PS.

The Nintendo games im referring to are Fire Emblem & Pokemon, there certainly arent any turn based RPGs on PS/XB that sell anywhere close to Pokemon and the only strategy game on PS/XB to sell over 2 million last generation was Halo Wars.

 

There is nothing that indicates these types of games would do significantly better on PS/XB and if Nintendo games dont have a significant rise in sales than what is the point of going 3rd party?
