That point most people dont realise that want "Nintendo games on PS4". Reason why Nintendo games are so special care because they are on Nintendo hardware, Nintendo almost always make that hardware with they 1st party teams and their IPs on their mind (pretty different situation from Sony/MS that make hardware with 3rd party on mind). Also Nintendo like platform holder does not depends from anywhere, they can do and make wherever they want, and that also have huge effect when they making their games. So yes, quality of Nintendo games like 3rd party games definatly wouldnt be same, you can compare quality of Sega game like hardware holder and quality Sega games like 3rd party and see how huge difrence is.

Definitely, Nintendo is just realising mobile versions of their IP for mobile platforms, they not moving from dedicated hardware.

Sadly most people won't understand this due to the mainstream platforms being driven mainly by third party software and not first party, this is why Nintendo makes hardware that suits their own needs first as their first party has always been the main draw for them, Sega is a prime example of why the whole third party example just falls flat as people think it'll be the same level of output but on another platform but that's never the case.

People who like Nintendo games buy their hardware and grab the games and having their games on other platforms would hardly make a difference to their software sales, There is to many people around this days that are like "I like Nintendo IP but don't buy there hardware, They should go 3rd party" and have been saying the same for 20 years now and in the end whether Nintendo software is on a different platform they wouldn't buy it anyway.

If for some reason they did for a start they would loose $20 in platform fees from every $60 new game they released, You also have to take into consideration that Nintendo games stay at full price giving Nintendo a high profit per unit sold where as other platforms its basically expected for a game to drop from $60-$40 within 3 months and at $30 6 months after release which they would have to follow the trend along with a much bigger used game market for the other consoles so even if they sold more copies the profit margin would be a lot lower. Also some Nintendo only fans may not even continue to buy their games as they would have to pay $40 a year to play MK, Splatoon, Smash, etc online which was free.

I've never understood why people think Nintendo would continue to release there current quantity/quality of software if they gave up the hardware business and at the end of the day if Nintendo decided to go a software only company they would size down go like 90% smartphone development and leave maybe a Zelda here and there along with cheap Mario spinoffs as a 3rd party developer.

There will be always some people that will just say "I want Mario and Zelda on PS4" without any thinking, for instance why are Nintendo games so special and what exatly make them so special.
