Unlikely. You underestimate how stubborn Nintendo is (and sometimes rightfully so, the industry would suck if everyone did the same thing). |
Well, it would still be nintendo but with less kid games and more of the kind of games it's own fans want to play (more mainline nintendo games) and what other gamers want to (new IPs focused more on adults).
You forgot there's a different captain running the ship. it's not the same nintendo as when Iwata was around. He'll likely make different choices than Iwata.
I think that some of the nintendo folks are thinking of sega when someone mentions that nintendo should go third party. It's definitely coloring their perception on this. If nintendo did go third party, it would not be a sign of that nintendo failed at making home consoles or that it pulled a sega.
