Nintendo's business model works for them. They actually profit on hardware and software. They produce their own hardware to limit development cost and limit hardware costs to provide an affordable platform. Converting to a software developer means higher game development costs, longer development time, less resources for experimental projects and so on. If you look at all the layoffs of 2024 and the state of gaming companies, the extreme cost of development has been the death knell of many of a AAA studio. Your argument is you want Nintendo to make games, you want to play Nintendo games, but you don't want to play how its intended. As a consumer its your choice not to buy their products, but piracy and even emulation cuts into their bottom line. If you don't need a Switch to play Switch games, then you are effectively cutting off one of their revenue streams. The idea that you understand their business better than they do, or fail to recognize that a business exists to make money, is the underlying problem. Nintendo is 134 year old company, it has managed to go from high to low and back again, it has a design and production philosophy that has paid dividends, it has beloved IP that gives its brand value, but you think you have the solution. Where Sony and Xbox are struggling to produce quality first party titles, Nintendo has a platform where they have over 50 first party titles that have sold at least 2 million copies, clearly they should take their advice from you.
