How would you know if Nintendo would maintain their game output as a 3rd party game company? We have Sega nowadays, so it's a valid reason to fear that scenario.

Firstly because I actually have confidence in Nintendo's ability as developers. If other companies can exist perfectly fine as 3rd parties then surely Nintendo can too unless they are simply not good enough at their jobs.

And secondly, I think Sega today is actually an improvement over the Sega that made consoles.

Just on this, I would agree, Sega were not third party when they created the disasters that were the 32X, Mega CD, Saturn and for the most part the Dreamcast. As well as any software they did bother to make for them.

Just saying, Sega went bad long before they went third party.
