Yeah I'm in the same boat tbh, other companies create great games and I'll settle for them providing technical marvels while Nintendo can continue bringing games like BOTW. There's no way to compete with MS and Sony in a hardware brawl.

To be honest I think an alliance between Nintendo + MS wouldn't be so bad. There's no room for three game consoles, so two of the three have to join sooner or later or one of the three has to leave. 

In an alliance with MS, Nintendo could retain a lot of the things they enjoy as a hardware maker, like design input, possibly even a cut of hardware profits and licensing fees. 

If you look at MS, they really don't even have a strong 1st/2nd party anymore, Nintendo could step right in. 

Having Nintendo games exclusive to XBox and Windows PC would give MS a monstrous edge over other Sony and Steam as MS would likely have all the third party support to go with it, they would have the best software ecosystem overnight. 

I don't believe Nintendo would ever tie them like that to a western company. At least Sony is japanese, comes from a similar corporate culture and has gaming as a central part.
