They can hardly force third party developers to make games for their consoles.

Besides, Nintendo's own games are good because they know the systems that the games are intended for inside out. If they suddenly decided to develop for the next gen MS and Sony consoles, that advantage would go right out the window. Not to mention the fact they would probably stand to lose full creative control.

And just because they're not dominating the console market currently, doesn't mean they're failures. They're still turning a profit at least. But then again, unlike Sony and MS, they're totally reliant on their consoles and games...
