Can we agree Nintendo should go third party, now?

A bigger install base does matter. It's not 1 for 1 as that all means varied taste. 

 

But to increase the install base by 1000% would increase sales massively. Obviously not by 1000%. But let's look at Mario Kart 8. It sold 7.35million a massive number for Wii I system. I guarantee with PS4 XB1 and Steam it would've done at the extreme least 20 million. 

 

And keeping their handheld business that prints money would also be great for them. 

Ok well since you brought up Mario Kart, explain how Mario Kart Wii outsold Mario Kart DS by over 10 million while having an install that was over 50 million lower?

How did Double Dash outsell Super Cuircut on nearly 1/4 the install base? How did Mario Kart 8 sell almost as much as Super MK on 1/4 the install base?

Like I said, bigger install base does not necessarily mean bigger sales.

as for keeping handhelds but going 3rd party on consoles, that would only hurt their handheld business.

Sigh.

1. I already said it's not a 1 for 1 growth. 
2. Because they're not the same game.
3. Handheld and console are different platforms and you can't compare the 2 and they're completely different markets.
4. The same game released on more platforms DOES mean more sales. Is it proportional? No. But I already said that so I don't know why you keep making this point. GTA V Would not have sold 75 million units if it was playstation exclusive.
5. If you think them putting Mario and Zelda etc on PS/XBOX/STEAM Means people wont buy their handhelds and they wouldn't sell a tonne from Pokemon and Monster Hunter I don't know what to say to you.
