I don't really care for Nintendo owned IPs except for some 2nd party game colabs they have had. But I guess going the 3rd party way would be good for those who like their games but hate their consoles, so I personally don't care.



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

Didn't they already try that, and Sony came out with the PS1 instead.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Don't think it would help them or Sony, but I would like some Nintendo games ported to ps4, and would find no problems with Drake on smash or smash x pssabr (one version but you choose between smb or pssabr gameplay). Also would support Sony allowing Nintendo to port the more niche games (like puppetter) to WiiU since it would fit good there.

Why don't they simplify it.

- Sony agrees to support the portable NX and to push their third party partners to support it also. The console NX is more of a low-powered/cheaper family console which doesn't compete directly with the PS4/PS5.

- Nintendo agrees to provide the PS4/PS5 with certain exclusives and support.

- Sony and Nintendo jointly agree to develop Super Mario CG and Legend of Zelda live action movies. This will be a nice boon for Sony if they do lose the James Bond license.


You might as well go all the way then and say that Sony and Nintendo fuses as gaming companies, and make the "PlaystatioNintendo"... Cause that's pretty much what you're suggesting.

No, if Nintendo has to go 2nd party, a partnership with Microsoft would make much more sense.

3 reasons:
1.) MS is storng in the US but weak in japan. Nintendo in strong in japan but weak in the west.
2.) MS has got little 1st party games compared to Sony, so Nintendo IPs would be perfectly complementary, while Sony and Nintendo on the same machine would step on each others feet.
3.) About crossover titles: Mariocraft and Rare characters + Master Chief in Smash bros. Nuff said.
