Well I agree. If Nintendo did decide to stop making consoles, would the games sell as well on other platforms (e.g. Xbox/Ps2?) I don't think so. Like a Mario game on Ps2 would just feel weird. I don't think marketing would be as appealing as it would on a Nintendo console.

And also this would limit Miyamoto's ideas as he has no say on what the controller will look like, or how powerful the system will be. Making profit is Nintendo's main aim as with any company, and they must be doing so. Why would they pull out? Even if sales aren't amazing, they are still very well in it, and making profit.
