Plus they'd still have the building maintenance costs of that side of the business as well. The best argument for Nintendo going 3rd party (other than potential increased sales) is that they wouldn't be burdened with the costs and risks of actually producing the console. Doing it your way they'd still have a lot of those costs, but they wouldn't even be selling a console to earn back those expenses. |
Yeah your right but those 5 years is just a plucked out of thin air number. also the time could be used to develop new hardware so the hardware division wouldn't be siting on there arses.

That way they have two business strategies running and they could always decide to switch back or go full third party depending on what works out better. |
I'm no fan Nintendo going 3rd party but this was just an idea that popped into my head while reading other peoples comments on the subject.
Anyway your idea sounds far more sane than mine. :)
