Yeah, the Wii U took the world by storm with its great online network, great third party support and outstanding media functionality.
Oh wait...
I think both would acutally benefit.
Nintendo needs an online network, that is not a clusterfuck. Their voice chat / smartphone bullshit needs to die asap. Nintendo needs a much better relationship with the big 3rd party developers, especially in the West (EA, UbiSoft, TakeTwo / Rockstar, Activison). Halo, Gears of War would help them to get the core gamers interested. Even Forza is arguably the king of a genre Nintendo hasn't even touched yet.
Microsoft gets FINALLY a foothold in Japan and Japanese support. MS gets a great first party output for the more casual gamer and they could sell millions of XBL subscriptions just for Mario Kart.
And they could Make a game called "Mario Minecraft" and just see what happens. Minds will be blown.

It will never happen, but it would be a success.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
