Right! I bet its the same people whowants Nintendo to go third party. 

Who in their right mind would want that?

People that don't know how easy Nintendo has it with their streamlined development pipeline, and huge profits from being the publisher, developer, and console holder of a game. When you control every aspect of the development pipeline your games get made quicker, and are on budget. Going third party mucks that pipeline up. When you own the console rights, and are the publisher and developer you made triple the money on game sales, since there are less middlemen. Third party developers have to pay console fees, and publisher fees. That eats away at their profits. Some third party games only make $10 per $60 game sold.
