Nothing can stop Ninty thats for sure, even all of the core gamers are abandon the Wii(which isnt) the Wii is still selling like hotcakes.
About their future? I think if theres no other third party like Apple to compete with Ninty then the situation will be like the NES monopoly again, but this time instead of stricting third parties, Ninty will freely make the third parties develop games anytime they want even what quality it is...
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out
