Hmm. Not any time soon. Once Nintendo hardware started to do bad enough over a few gens, they would do some wild kind of console and if that didn't sell well, they'd might go third party. I think that nintendo fans would just go along with it whether they liked it or not.

Absolutely.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Yes. Splatoon on PC so we'll get playable Octolings FINALLY!

Also BotW needs a PC modding community like Skyrim got. That would slay.

Lol, even after 15 years of reading this crap, it'll never get old..

I don't see it happening for a while but i would love for this to happen.

Playing Mario on PlayStation or PC would be the best. The less boxes for me to buy the better. But that's a very selfish opinion of course.

I would not mind as much if Nintendo still made systems like Gamecube (which were basically the same as the competition), but they make hardware right now that the other platform companies simply do not. Dedicated portable systems, for example, is one such type of hardware that only Nintendo really makes now, and it is how I primarly game (my main gaming sessions are on my commute or in bed at home). If Nintendo went third-party, then the only option left for gamers like me is to go mobile (and not one I would take up, based on past experience with mobile games), which I cringe at considering the quality of most games on mobile devices do not even begin to approach the most average games on portables like 3DS, Vita, and Switch. Portability is why I am personally rooting for Switch to be successful (ideally to a point where Nintendo supports it with new entries to the majority of their franchises along with re-releases and emulation from past systems, it gets great indies, and some third-party gems). My point is a bit selfish as well, but the Switch really is a dream handheld for me, so I would hate for Nintendo to abandon it and develop major projects only on stationary systems, which I would have little time to enjoy.
