I don't understand the Nintendo 3rd party thing. I mean, both Nintendo and Microsoft have already made games for PC. Why can't Sony?

Sony has aswell. Planetside 2 for example is developed by Sony, and is a pc game.

I meant a Sony Computer Entertaiment game, not Sony Online Entertainment game. I want inFamous or Jak and Daxter on my PC without emulators.

What PC games has Nintendo made?

TPC has made the trading card game for Pokemon. Nintendo, itself, has made none of which I am aware but they effectively are TPC.

Most likely.

They'd get a smaller cut of software sales and all hardware sales going poof.

They'd need a drastic increase in software sales to offset that loss.

They would probably see a drastic increase in software if they went multiplatform. They would have 10 million PS4 customers, 5 million Xb one customers, hundreds of millions of smartphone customers and a hundred million or so PC customers. They could even usher in an era of higher priced smartphone games bringing smartphone games out of the <$5 mire.

What was hardware revenue for Nintendo?

But I see no point in Nintendo going softwqare only in handheld. They still seel good numbers in the handheld market, and being exclusive in handhelds but multiplatform in home console/PC means they can potentially leverage multiplatform content to attract more handheld hardware sales.

Nintendo made ~$1 billion in Wii U hardware revenue in 2013. They could probably make that up with expanded software sales. But I doubt they could make up the loss in revenue (>$2 billion) from 3DS.
