These days, Sega survives largely as a publisher (Total War, Alan Isolation, Bayonetta, Valkyria Chronicles, Football Manager for some reason...), acting as producer for other people's content but occasionally making ill-advised attempts to reanimate Sonic. If Nintendo went the same way, becoming a third party that occasionally spent their money faffing about with a moustached plumber, what would be your reaction? Are there any franchises besides Zelda you'd like to see saved or finally laid to rest?
And at the end of the day, is Sega a better fate for a games publisher than Ubisoft?

You know, there's a lot of Japanese-originating universes that could use a good Western RPG treatment.
An open-world Western RPG of Zelda? Oh yes.
Western RPG of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon? Definitely.
Western RPG of the normal Pokemon world? Definitely.
I doubt anything like ZeldaU = Skyrim would happen because the Japanese gaming industry has very little experience with open-world, open-ended RPGs, and tends to be conservative with their business decisions. The only time I can think of that sort of thing happening is with Dragon's Dogma, which was specifically made to imitate Western RPGs.
Would it be a good thing? Heck yes, if it was executed well. What if Link were born as a Deku Scrub, or a Goron, or a Zora? Or a Keaton!?!? And the Master Sword wasn't his primary weapon? I'd buy that almost no questions asked. Will it happen? It's very unlikely.

I think you may be right. Given how entrenched they are in their home market, they might well survive on merchandising for the medium term.
...Then, a few years down the line, Nintendo buys the rights to James Cameron's films...

I would like to thank you for the pology, even though it has been a while since the apology itself the fact that you were a big enough person to admit your failings shows sincerity.
