But like I said, your actual quote was about Nintendo declining in relevance so 3rd parties are irrelevant to the point.

Would Nintendo be declining in relevance if their hardware sales drop but their franchises grow in sales?

Wait what? A decline in relevance means exactly that. It means people who aren't necessary fans of Nintendo still buying their shit. And if no 3rd parties come on board it becomes a niche. You know what a niche is? Exactly the opposite of relevant.

The software numbers have a good chance of increasing because Nintendo isn't splitting their base anymore. But that doesn't mean they gain relevance. That just means Nintendo fans buy more software because more of it is available to them.

The issue is gonna come in with if their movie business, anime, and cell phone games become successful. The console business is just going to be a slice of Nintendo on whole.
