I agree, both Sony and Microsoft will probably be here for the long haul, even if they lose this generation, the same way Nintendo survived the last two generations. All three companies have what it takes to absorb loses for at least two generations, me thinks. Nintendo is the greatest publisher/developer so you are pretty much guaranteed to have games on your Nintendo system, even if party companies are not there. Especially now that they have understood what the non-gamers and casual customers want. I would even go as far and say that the Wii will be extremely successful, DS-lite like successful, largely because of Nintendo first party titles. to them, gaming is Nintendo and Nintendo is gaming. Sony on the other hand, can just market the PS3 as a multimedia machine, the same way they are doing with the PSP. So long as hardware sales are poor to decent(not "dead" level kind of sales), they'll be satisfied. Software sales would be disappointing, but they will make a profit on the hardware, however small it is. They also has money, not as much as Microsoft, from other divisions. They will try and try again to dominate your living room, hardware-wise. Microsoft has money. They can buy exclusives left and right. Even if the console tanks, they WILL absorb the loses, just so Sony doesn't dominate your living room. They probably don't care as much as Nintendo when it comes to the actual games themselves. They also want to dominate your living room as much as Sony.
