I really don´t think they can do it.
They would need cheaper consoles and a big number of quality games about high, very high popular franchises to cather everyone´s attention, but no franchise currently can beat the likes of Mario, Zelda, Dk and other Nintendo franchises.

Pretty much this, that or the next handheld they release fails to keep with afloat.

If they could come to some kind of financial agreement it would be glorious, I'd love to see what Nintendo could do with Kinect for example and they would have both basis covered in terms of core and casual and young and old. |
Yeah but sony doesnt need their gaming sector they have the hands in so many cookie jars they can take more risks.

There is nothing to back up the claim they will make tons of money by going iOS or Android. It seems really silly to suggest the company that dominates sales stop doing that and go in another direction.
Nintendo seem to be doing a good job of that all by themselves in the home console space, just like Sony and Sega were their own biggest enemy when they each ran into trouble. To keep themselves relevant I'd advise they get new management, a new long term strategy and spend more of those endless money reserves I keep hearing about.
Nintendo have too much money banked and are way too stubborn to stop making consoles :P Heck, the Gamecube sold 22 million vs the PS2's 158 million, and they still made another console, which actually went well.
I would rather they not
Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

I doubt such a situation could be at all possible, or even very successful. Two companies running one closed platform is going to be a disaster from the start, especially two companies with such different ways of doing things.
The only combo I could see remotely working would be Sony/Nintendo and that's just because their methods and executions are more in line with each other (Sony also has a lot of IPs that appeal to Nintendo's market) and they are also both Japanese companies, which I imagine would also help.
Realistically though, both would likely fail.

i don't think sales affected wether they made a new console or not, but profits did, and Nintendo made more money in the GC+GBA era(their least profitable era) than Sony did with the PS2(their most profitable era), so if they make more money than the competition, why not? :P
Nintendo will never go third party.
