Lets not exagerate, shall we?

I think people are reading too much into this.  He seems to be talking about how the industry is constantly changing and how Nintendo will have to adapt to those changes.  All in all, he is speaking of when making consoles is basically obsolete in the future market, which lets face it, is going to happen eventually.

Maybe they will have their own PC service like steam that their games will be exclusive to, maybe they will go 3rd party if the need ever came to be, or maybe it will be one of those options alongside mobile games?

He mentions mobile as an example and nothing more I think.  I believe we are safe from Nintendo ever going full on mobile TBH, but they will for sure continue to grow in that area as well overtime.  The success of Fire Emblem Heros and Animal Crossing on mobile has seen to that.

He also mentions things like theme parks and movies.  If I were a betting man, I would say Nintendo is trying to evolve into something more like Disney.  They will always have their gaming divisions in one form or another, but they will use the legacy and popularity of their IPs to propel the Nintendo further in other avenues as well.

No, it's like saying you want to watch TV shows but you don't want to buy 3 - 4 television sets (one for Netflix, one for Hulu, one for Amazon Prime Video, one for Sky...).

A flexible streaming box (or mobile device) could offer support for the "Nintendo channel" and the "PlayStation channel" and the "Xbox channel" and the "Steam channel", which can be installed/subscribed separately on the same device.

Its called a PC...

Nintendo going third party. It's over! Out of context hype title has me all up in arms! 

To be serious, one day maybe when the earth and the moon become one, Nintendo will stop making hardware. Either way, i'll be too old or dead to care at that point.

I think you mean rise. I don't think you know what kind of investors and stockholders Nintendo has.

I think Nintendo should have bought into of Blackberry (or was the company callled RIM) when they still had there own OS instead of Dena and made there own gaming centered phone.

this company has existed since 1889 I think back then games consoles were not on their RADAR and in 130 years time there is a chance that they'll be too busy with their sex robot industry to make a new handheld console, that's just how time works.

Feel the need to point out... RADAR wasn't on their RADAR back then either as it wouldn't be invented for another 46 years...

I predict down. We'll see monday though.

Since the iPhone is declining in sales, it’s time for Nintendo to step in.

It's become clearer to everyone that this is inevitable. I'm sure a time will come where Nintendo, Xbox, and Playstation will be apps with the only hardware being controllers.
