As ex-Nintendo President, Hiroshi Yamauchi, once said and repeated again at GDC by Iwata

“The hardware is just a box you buy only because you want to play Mario games.”

With Nintendo software still blazing the charts whilst hardware sinks below PS3 levels, is it not logical for Nintendo to at least consider going 3rd party?

I am not sure where you got that information; according to this site, Nintendo has sold over 230 million pieces of hardware between DS and Wii this generation; Sony has sold about 110 million, and Microsoft 51 million.

Moving to multiplatform a good idea? Nope:

This generation, Nintendo systems have sold 1.3 billion pieces of software, Sony 0.55 billion, and Microsoft 0.48 billion. Nintendo sticking to their own systems has a higher potential to sell software than they would if they switched over to the three rival systems, in other words.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Just for the record, I never said Nintendo has to solely go 3rd party.

They can still make consoles and first party games if they want, I just think they should let other consoles have some killer software too.

Sure, and Sony should give Nintendo their Jak series, since it is more like a Nintendo franchise. Also, 360 should give Wii its Halo series. Flawless logic :P

That makes no sense whatsoever. Who the hell is Jak anyway?

Sony and MS can't really do anything as bad as Namco (SC), Capcom (Tats) and EA (everything) can do.

lol. I'd probably use your reasoning on why 2D mario should be on the 360 as to why it should be on the PS3. :P It's already got a PS3 userbase so it would probably automatically have some major sales on the PS3. You'd be shocked how many people used to ask me if there was a Mario game for the PS3 when i worked at Best Buy. lol.

See, clearly a desire for it.

Giving the people what they want with added suprises is Nintendo's forte.

With the Ps3 winning, I conclude that this website is afterall, a Song fanboy website. Let's make more negative topics on Ps3 so everybody gets a chance to shit their pants.
