Good luck with that. Switch is on track to be the best selling systems of all time, there's little reason for them to even consider going third party any time soon. |
Though Nintendo have the least reason of the big 3 to remain as an exclusive developer. They don't make a ton of money from third parties, they aren't making a ton of money from services. The vast majority of their profits come from the sale of their games unlike Sony/MS.
Out of the 246m software sold on the Switch over 130m of that is published by Nintendo. The point of having your own platform is Third Party revenue and Service revenue which Nintendo gets the least of the big three by an absolute landslide.
Nintendo's interest should lie in making as much money from their games as they can, and releasing to a wider audience may make them even more successful.
But yes Nintendo isn't going to release on other systems anytime soon, even though it makes more sense for them than it does for PlayStation or Xbox.
