Really, the only way to justify Nintendo going third-party is because you simply want Nintendo to fail or submit to Sony, Microsoft, the PC master race, etc.

That's part of it.  The other is what could be seen as port begging for an entire console catalog.

It's an expensive hobby, I get that. But $200 or $300 is not that steep a price. Cut out a couple limited editions or online fees here and there and you'll have enough to buy a 3DS or Switch or whatever. Then you can play all the Nintendo games you like without fundamentally restructuring a company and making a lot of loyal fans miserable.

I'm sympathetic to the folks who can only afford a single device and want to play everything on it, but the people usually requesting Nintendo go third-party are dropping a lot of cash on high-end graphics cards and $60 games with $30 season passes.
