So Nintendo should go 3rd Party, right? What about everyone else?

Its not the games its the system and their lack of support. I was talking only about the consoles. I think he is trying to say the same thing, that its their hardware that doesn't sell.

That makes it an even better decision for them to go third party, as its their hardware that inhibits sales of their games and Pokemon Go kinda shows us that. People don't like weak and unsupported hardware even if the software is good. PlayStation and Xbox have plenty of good games from both first party and third party developers and have a hige selection of games in a variety of genres. So people buy these consoles, while Wii U has too many platformers, a decent number of hack and slash games and is lacking in every other genre.

Also why are Nintendo fans against this? You'll still get Nintendo games but you won't have to buy seperate hardware to play those games as well as third party games, and these systems have more power so you can have a better experience too. Its a win win for them yet I see Nintendo fans complaining about it.

1. Bad example. Free to play game that only makes money off microtransactions.

2. Because it would mean Nintendo would have to bow down to the influences of third party hardware manufacturers.

You really want future Nintendo games to look like this?

Because this would happen if Nintendo went third party. They'd end up overly realistic just to try and stay relavent.

And not to mention the fact that, if Nintendo went third party, they'd be showing a sign of weakness, which investors have already seen too many of. You honestly want Nintendo to be viewed as weak?

Who is to say that there is a convention on how third party game look like? If what you said was true we wouldn't have Skylanders, Borderlands, DBZ games by third parties. Third parties don't have their games influenced by hardware maunfacturers and even if they did who says these manufacturers don't have cute looking games? Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, LittleBigPlanet, these farnchises don't need photorealistic graphics to stay relevant and neither does Nintendo, their games would have more potential to sell.

If what you said was true their stocks would have gone down after Pokemon Go's release not went up. Investors want profits on investments and Nintendo would be in a better position to make profits by having a larger install base to sell games to and not make losses on hardware.
