Nope. They shouldn't and they won't. Their next console might be a hybrid home/handheld anyway.

Nintendo just has too much problems to continue in the console race, unlike sony and microsoft, nintendo has to come with lighting in a bottle to sell it's console, while all sony and microsoft have to is provide a huge upgrade in power at a affordable price, nintendo just doesn't have a market, sony did but its price with its biggest problem, while nintendo has problems that are almost unfixable.

so there making a console to compete with the 3ds, if anything thats what the 3ds succesor should be.

Well... Thats usually what the issue is with making hardware... You win some and you lose some... They won with the Wii, DS and 3ds and they are losing with the wiiU... Maybe their next one will be a success... They thought that the gamepad was enough to justify the lack of power and I doubt they saw the abandonment of third party coming in time... So, just cause of One mistake, I doubt they should go third party.... Nintendo needs their hardware to make their games and only Nintendo can really make their hardware sing

Do these threads give you cancer?

Really...?

The thing is were talking about there console hardware line, and nintendo has lost 3 out of the 4 consoles, n64, GC and wiiu, and  the only reason wii won is cause they caught lighting in a bottle, which is very tough to achieve just look at the virtual boy and othere gimmicks released. if you tell me nintendo can fix there problems with there next console i can agree, but nintedo next console is more like flipping a quarter, and i will probably anothere huge disaster, with no third party support and an even weaker fanbase after the wiiu, they just don't have a market.

Why not just make their next system a massive handheld upgrade with an optional adaptor that connects to the tvs hdmi port so u can play the games on your tv?  I find it really stupid when asswipes like yourself want Nintendo to make their games for other systems so you can play their games. Why not just buy their system then? They do make more than enough content to justify the purchase. Not to. Mention over the holidays you could get certain bundles which workes out to the system costing under 200$. 

If Nintendo ever went third party I would hope they mail sony and Microsoft a picture of their ass and make the games for iPads only. Then again since Nintendo has more available cash on hand than most companies out there they can afford multiple console generations failures and still be around. Lastly why wouldn't they just focus everything on their handhelds? Imagine the amount of games 3ds would have. Would make the  crappy vita look even worse than it already is.

Yea but look at how hard it is for Nintendo just to make games in HD for the wiiU with their own hardware/OS.. If you have seen any of the Nintendo Directs, at least 3 of them have said that blah game has been delayed cause moving into the HD generation is harder than we thought so "Please Understand"... Now think of how bad that would be for Nintendo on hardware/OS they don't even know how to use... I think they will lose more money in trying to figure out how to use Sony's/MS hardware/OS and trying to fix all the bugs and etc that they will lose a lot more money... At least with their console, they don't have to lose as much trying to figure out to efficently use it

lol only 2 franschises i care about from nintedo and i wouldn't even buy them at full price. i made this thread cause nintendo stock is down 17% cause of the wiiu, not to mention a net loss of 25 billion dollars cause of the wiiu.
