Can we agree Nintendo should go third party, now?

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 company that has won a gen is 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 dont matter and yet are playing pricing games with Sony. Their words dont match their actions.

Still better than a Sony monopoly in my opinion; competition drives companies to improve their services. MS getting a thrashing this gen has already seen them investing more in first party studios and producing a more games-centric machine this time around. PS3 struggling against the 360 led Sony to produce a more affordable and developer friendly PS4.
