At some point, getting Nintendo would be a career moment and I honestly believe a good move for both companies. It's just taking a long time for Nintendo to see that their future exists off of their own hardware. A long time.... :-)

Decades old PC software can run on the latest hardware (often much better than it did on its original hardware).

This is increasingly less true as the software dependencies get more complicated. See also, Rockstar selling pirated games because that was the way to get it running...

Window's compatibility layer is still far beyond what a console provides. Beyond that, WINE (for Linux) is increasingly able to run Windows programs from many decades... In a sense, Linux is becoming the best Windows compatibility layer for old software and games in the world.

You don't need to reach 100% to provide value/be better.
