Can we agree Nintendo should go third party, now?

You say Nintendo software is tethered to Nintendo hardware as if no one buys Nintendo hardware for Nintendo hardware.

I bought the Wii U because I liked the Gamepad. I bought the 3DS because I liked the the 3-D and dual screens. I bought the Wii because I liked motion controls at the time. I wanted to see how all games would utilize them, not just Nintendo games. This "you buy Nintendo systems for Nintendo games" rhetoric needs to stop, because it's out of touch with reality.

I bought the Switch because I like the Switch, not because I like Nintendo games and have to buy their "shitty hardware" to play them.

Then how come Nintendo's top-selling games for each system has been a Nintendo game?

To expand on this, remember the releases of Miitomo, Pokemon Go and Super Mario Run? Got downloaded millions of times. Did people keep playing those games after more than a couple months? No.

That's why Nintendo games don't work on non-Nintendo platforms. Nobody would buy major Mario, Zelda or Kirby games if they were on PlayStation and/or Xbox. It's like how nobody wanted to buy Rare games on Xbox.

Lmao, Pokémon Go became a world-wide hype and phenemenon and boosted sales of old and new Pokémon games plus the 3DS, but you use it as an example why Nintendo games don't sell on non-Nintendo platforms? Lol. The game made more profit than Sony did on all their first party games combined on the PS4. And Super Mario run costs $10 while most smartphone games are super cheap or free with micro-transactions and ads. Another "great" example. Miitomo isn't even a game.
