No Nintendo would cause my interest in gaming to diminish severely, but I'd probably eventually pony up the money for one of the HD twins... maybe.

I would probably play my Wii if Sony dropped out. Eventually I would move into PC gaming. I won't give Microsoft money, though. I have only purchased a copy of XP SP2 from them and will never buy anything from them again. If Sony dropped out, and Nintendo continued on their current path? I would either move to PC, collect all the impossible trophies, or quit gaming.



I have moved and do not have the internet at home, yet.

Well, it's already happened. It hurts for a while but if playing games are really what you like, you'll keep playing games.

None of the console makers are irreplaceable. I wouldn't care if one dropped out, because if that happens the market would have moved on already.



Tease.

If MS dropped out id be a PC gamer.

Already happened to me, with the death of the Dreamcast. *sobs*

When that happened, I still played my DC for a while, moved to PC gaming for a bit, then eventually bought a Gamecube.

These days, I have all consoles, so if Nintendo (my favorite) dropped out, I'd be sad, then go play some Halo.
