I already elaborated why "just going third party" is neither as easy nor a good idea in another thread, so I wont dig it up again.
I do, however agree that they will likely leave the home console market, at least for some time. Even if they want to continue, no one will buy yet another NX should the current NX fail. They'd have to take it slow, work out a whole new strategy and rework their image and position in the industry.
As for me, it highly depends on the First party games the NX gets. I will not buy it at launch, I already know so much, I made that mistake with the Wii U and I'm not going to repeat it. If they do have good games without mayor droughts, even if its only first party, I will very likely get the system if the price is right.

I have zero understanding of statements like this. If you get the exact same games what's the problem. You just have to buy a box with a different logo on it.

It's not just droughts but the games that Nintendo makes as well.   While they make games that appeals to hardcore NIntendo fans, they don't really make the kinds of games that appeals to the Playstation and Xbox crowd.    If Nintendo wants to create new Nintendo fans then they need to diversify their library of games.  They don't have to stop making games like Mario and Splatoon, but they also could use something a little more mature themed like a Gears or Uncharted type of game.   

Nintendo wants to be the Disney of video games, but they are doing a piss poor job as even Disney has brands like Marvel and Star Wars to expand their film lineup outside animated movies for kids. 

Nintendo has other franchises that they tried. Bayonetta, TW101, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Devil's 3rd, not to mention getting exclusives like Zombi U. Its not like they just decided to do only family oriented games. They did lots of different things. Its not their fault that it didn't fly. 

Easy. I buy Nintendo systems because I want to play Nintendo games. If I wanted Sony games I'll buy a Playstation. The instant Nintendo goes 3rd party then I'm out. Its really that simple. The only way they go 3rd party and I continue to buy their games is if they launch a PC platform with a closed ecosystem where I can visit with other Nintendo fans in peace. I'm not going to get a Nintendo game on a different console and deal with a bunch of dude bro jerks who were raised on CoD and internet hate.

Let's be honest here outside Bayonetta 2 most of those games were either mediocre, or too Japanese niche (Xenoblade).

Bayonetta 2 is a good start and Nintendo should continue to make even more quality games aimed at gamers who enjoy more mature themed content.

Nope. The next zelda has guaranteed my support.

Even if you are primarily a mutliplayer gamer Nintendo games generally don't feature voice of even text chat, even if they implemented such a feature in the future it would no doubt be optional. How would you have to "deal" with these people just to continue playing the games you know and love. I don't even have to deal with these people when I'm playing Rocket League or CoD.

And when it comes to singleplayer games, this has absolutely no effect at all. Not buying Zelda because it's on a ps4 just because somehwere else in the world "dude-bro's" are using a ps4 to play Fifa online is a very strange thing.

i thought it was just me
