But they would make less money. Since the game would cost more to make (being on the powerful PS4 platform) and they would have to give up a portion of the profits to Sony.
At the same time they could more than double their sales. At some point even with the money they give up they're selling so many more copies that it doesn't matter anymore.

Nintendo's loyal customers regardless of how they may pretend online would be more than willing to buy a Sony console to get Nintendo home console games. On top of that they'll get sales from Sony gamers that would have bought their games if they were available on a console they own.

I mean look at them. They're basically giving up on a traditional home console anyway so what damage is putting their games where the largest audience can get them gonna really do?

So Nintendo really has given up. They're going full portable here. Third party developers will likely continue to ignore them or give them table scraps. This is too different from what the rest of the industry is doing. A Nintendo console at this point can't be a device that demands special attention and resources from developers because as we saw with the Wii U they won't dedicate that to a Nintendo console.

Unless it's cheap, this shyt might bomb hard. Again, Pokemon Go was a free app available on smartphones, a device that millions of people already have.

Even Nintendo themselves released a statement that said Pokemon Go doesn't mean that much to them as a company and their stock dropped like 17%

Threre is a reason handheld sales have dropped off considerably. Nobody wants to carry around an extra device to go along with their phone.

This device can't be more than $250. Anything above that and it will be damn near DOA.

im glad it's a handheld. nintendo can focus on making one version of every game in its library, and if it differentiates itself enough, developers will have the same incentive to make games for it that they had for gameboy and DS.

but it must be priced right because this is still a 2nd system for the hardcore gamer who is not a nintendo fanboy

The unknown
There has to be more to this. This has the potential to be pretty dope. Wasn't there rumors of it having 4G/LTE?
