Talk about denial and nintendo hating. The wii was amazing and stole dozens of millions of customers from sony. Deal with it.

Basicly.

They will loose money by porting into Nintendo system. That's the reality. But no point of debating since it's difficult for some Nintendo enthusiast to accept.

You clearly said they want hardcore gamers, like downgrading the kind of gamer that buys a Nintendo console, same old polite way to make dumb divisions and bashing a comunity, nothing new, just as the way you use Nintendo Enthusiast as an euphemism right there. Just because you chose your words correctly to not make your post ban worthy doesn't mean its content is less toxic.

And the best part is how naive you are with the subject, they want hardcore gamers you say, as if they give a shit about how hardcore you are, if Ubisoft could sustain itself selling just cheap casual games on Ps4, then that's all they would be doing, they are not interested in how proud to be hardcore you are. If NX suceed then it will have third party games, casual or hardcore, simple as that, it doesn't need to be the same as the twins, 3DS had a bunch of third party games that aren't ports of anything but new games made for the console itself, NX is also their new handheld and Nintendo handhelds have never lacked third party support, so don't go so fast talking about realities when with the little we know it could easily end up punching you in the face soon.

Dude. That's some very inappropriate language. Don't know what to say.

But if Nintendo finds that mobile games/going third party is a more profitable endeavour for them, they're totally not exiting the hardware space,  right? They'll totally keep churning out platform after platform even if they could be making more money doing other things, right?

It's like publicly traded companies exist to make as much profit as possible.

While you're not wrong, I'm not talking about Nintendo focusing exclusively on one division, am I?  It's  just pivoting their game development teams to make games on non-Nintendo hardware, and reducing/eliminating/refocusing their hardware development division, and using those freed resources to bolster a more successful division. They would still have various revenue streams including console video game development, mobile game development, novelty hardware development (NES Classic), merchandise/toys, liscencing etc.

People need to remember, that like Ubisoft, Sony, Microsoft, Blizzard, Activision, and EA, Nintendo isn't a charity. They have stake holders that expect a certain return on their investment. They're not going to keep investing in things with minimal or negative returns when they could be investing in other revenue streams that are making money and could be making more. Nintendo isn't going to keep making new platforms just because their dwindling fanbase wants them to. Besides - going third party isn't just sticking to one division, is it?

There's a reason why Sony isn't creating a successor to the Vita. There's a reason why Sony no longer makes PCs. There's a reason why Microsoft didn't make a successor to the Zune. But Nintendo no longer making home consoles when their last one was less successful than the Vita - that's ridiculous to some.

Why? Both platforms likely lost their respective developers money. Both had remarkably similar total hardware and software sales. Neither platform did much to grow their brand or put their hardware in the hands of new users. It was generally accepted by their existing fanbase and pretty much no one else. Nintendo's boat in the home console space is very similar to Sony's boat in the handheld console space.
