What if Microsoft teams up with Nintendo?

Hipotetically speaking a platform with too much 1st party content would be counterproductive. Too many releases in the same time span would prevent games to get their proper spotlight, giving sony and nintendo no other choice than reduce their 1st party output.

I don't think that would make happy either sony or Nintendo fans.

On the other hand ms and nintendo could be conplementary to each other where ms would guarantee proper 3rd party support and competitive online services, while nintendo could add 1st party titles and japanese relevance to the equation.

one big release a month is 6 each.  Then the smaller stuff.  It would keep the console selling gangbusters throughout the year and Sony brings the 3rd party support and online just like MS.  Sony also helps with worldwide relevance instead of just the NA market like MS

1 big release each month only for 1st party is definetly too much, you would have a platform where people would only buy 1st party or where 1st and 3rd party titles would have to fight off each other. That would definetly be not sustainable. Let alone Ps4 is already so much supported that Sony decided rationalize and cut down their sheer number of 1st party studios.

On the contrary on Xbox MS could just continue to release their periodic Halo and Forza title and Nintendo would be more than enough to cover the rest, also they could work on more ambitious titles since they wouldn't have to pour resources to fill the gaps in the release schedule (since they would have 3rd parties for that).
