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.

1-4. is beating around the bush. nothing you have said supports that Nintendo games would sell significantly higher by being on PS/XB. i know you said its not 1 to 1 but my examples are still valid, a bigger install base does not automatically mean bigger sales.
5. developing for PS/XB/PC would take significant resources away from their handhelds. A huge struggle Nintendo has had is supporting 2 platforms simultaneously. they struggled to support both 3DS & Wii U so what makes you think they can give strong support to an HD handheld while also developing games for PS/XB/PC?
