Can we agree Nintendo should go third party, now?

Have you seen how much Nintendo first party sells their consoles? No. Microsoft is the only brand that should be third party.

I disagree; I think Xbox has an important role to play in preventing Playstation from gaining a monopoly on the dedicated console market. Monopolies tend to be bad for consumers. Plus, I personally tend to prefer Xbox to Playstation in terms of a secondary console to my Nintendo main.

The only companies that have won gens are Sony & Nintendo. Xbox only keeps PlayStation at bay by having equal amounts of third party. Microsoft is playing a very, very odd game right now saying console sales don't matter and yet are playing pricing games with Sony. Their words don't match their actions.
