No because Sony make the best hardware, and I like to play on consoles. Nintendo make the worst hardware imo, so them going third party is an excellent idea for gamers.

Graphical power=best hardware. Wow that's all you people worry about. Think of it this way that the PC, Xbox and PS franchises basically depend solely on the power they dish out while Nintendo does something different every time. If the Xbox franchise moves over to PC, no problem since they were so close to begin with. Same deal with PS. But if Nintendo stops making hardware that is tailored towards its software, it will die off. The games Nintendo makes are high quality and have a long shlef life as well as being relevant many years later because Nintendo makes them that way. Without that Nintendo would have to try to be like any other company and aim for all the things they do and encounter the problems they do and Nintendo is not equipped to do that. It is also not a giant like Microsoft or have other businesses like Sony. So the best case scenario would be Nintendo giving up on games and moving somewhere else and the worse case would be nothing less of the destruction of the gaming giant. So Nintendo going third party will kill the company that single handedly revived console gaming and brought most of the innovations to lead the industry where it is today. Joysticks, rumbles, d-pad, gyro, shoulder buttons and essentially the modern controller is all due to Nintendo. And without Nintendo Sony and MS will be all to happy to just releasing more powerful consoles with the same controllers but slightly different. The same play style for all games every gen. Nintendo brings new things to the table that might one day become the staple of the industry and people will be playing it like its always been there. They also created a freaking handheld form console that is closer to xbone in power than Wii u. That is an impressive feat and how is that bad hardware? Lastly the only way Nintendo will stop making hardwares is if moves on from gaming or is no longer a company. Nintendo needs its own hardware to survive as a gaming company
