What exactly is "a little risky" here? That more games get sold on a platform that Nintendo makes money on? You seem to suggest that Nintendo risks not being the best publisher on their own machine. What exactly is the downside to them for that?

What is the downside? If Activision Blizzard or EAGames were to take the top spot on Nintendo's platforms the next move would be people no longer buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo's games. If Activision Blizzard or EA or UbiSoft managed to beat Nintendo out of the top spot, A.That means less software profits for Nintendo, B. many people could be turned to other platforms to get the latest Activision Blizzard game.


Hold on a second.  These publishers take top spot on Nintendo's platform and that drives people to other platforms?

Can I has non sequitur? Even if this were to happen, it would be because they use the platform better than Nintendo... and in that case their's no "other platform" alternative, is there?
