Would Nintendo survive if they went 3rd party?

Based on sales on this site in the game database so not official and not 100% accurate but it should be relatively correct. These numbers are rounded.

PS4 software-226m, XB1 software-121m, Total-350m

Action, PS4-75 million, XB1-30m, Total-105m

Shooter, PS4-60 million, XB1-45m, Total-105m

Sports, PS4-40 million, XB1-20m, Total-60m

3 genre total, PS4-175m, XB1-95m, Total-270m

That adds up to about 77% of all retail sales coming from these three genres.

You have pointed out exactly why it wouldn't be worth it for Nintendo. The fans of those consoles don't buy anything else unless it resembles 1 of the top 3 genres selling. This is fact and the numbers prove this in black and white...

Please don't use the word fact like that. It's been abused enough already. If your statement was correct, not a single person would have bought Journey, for example or Minecraft. And we all know how well the latter has done. Also, we all know that generalizations are bad and people who make them should feel bad.
