Can we agree Nintendo should go third party, now?

The middle ground would then be Nintendo going third party and keeping handhelds alive. 

 

They make a killing with their handhelds, Pokémon etc. 

And they'd make a killing third party. Zelda would've sold over 5 mil probably if it released on ps/Xbox/pc. 

zelda will sell 5 million on Switch so thats a pretty bad example.

Nintendo IP would have to sell alot more than they currently do in order for going 3rd party to be worthwhile. Nintendo would lose out on royalties & have to pay royalties along with losing out on hardware & accessory revenue.

I meant by now*  But I have a feeling you knew that and just wanted to make a point for points sake.


Lifetime Zelda would reach 20mil if it released on all platforms. 

And being open to 80 million more consoles and god knows how many PC's indicates they wouldn't sell a lot more?
