What an in-depth and expansive post.

At least it gave some of us a chuckle =p

 

My own opinion though, is that Microsoft would be more likely. So many reasons as stated above, some of the stronger ones being:

  • More diversified as a company, with relatively little investment in gaming
  • Company with stronger visions in other areas
  • Previous statements from executives at the company referring to MS's relative ambivalence towards gaming

Not if they want, but instead, which one of them WE WANT them to leave.

Thats easy! Sony. TLOU, God of War, Twisted Metal and Horizon would look awesome on Scorpio. And they would be on the faster most reliable network. No brainer!

Never considered this option, but It'd be an awesome one. Top notch software on high end hardware.

Definitely Microsoft, i get the feeling this will be their last gen.

The problem with Microsoft leaving is where would all their IPs go?

all their IP? they would still make halo/forza/gears.... just for PC and maybe playstation.

everything else they would sell off.

They just wouldnt sell you a console anymore.



Microsoft, they have been slowly drifting for several years now. But I actually do believe with the right time and effort, PC could be redefined as an ideal gaming platform for everyone.

Sony will keep refusing to die, and their consoles will keep selling no matter what happens to them.

Nintendo will keep being the smug arrogant company that they are and keep making products that nobody wants until they run out of money.

Maybe they need to go back to trading cards Xp

Definitely MS. As others have said, MS is focusing more on PC, now. That means less cash for Xbox and it no longer has exclusives. If the Scorpio fails, or is only a very mild success, I see them focusing Windows Studios back on Windows.

As for Nintendo, they are in a similar boat. If the Switch fails, or is only a mild success, they are really going to rethink things. I think it will take them longer to act, no matter what they decide. They will either just go 3rd party or just straight mobile if they drop out of the console biz. Or they may decide to do a more traditional handheld. Of course, this time I think they'll really shoot for that $199 price point by focusing on normal controls, with maybe some simple tilt controls, as well as using standard mobile chips, just the more top of the line ones.



Microsoft are already releasing all their games on PC moreover I do not think Scorpio is going to do much better.



 

just merge MS/Nintendo for better competition. :)



Hard to say, but I would say Microsoft

I think that even if the Switch flops (whatever your flop standards are), they will still have at least one more home system anyways
