I don't think they will pull because people were saying the same thing about nintendo last gen with the gamecube....they will bounce back next gen and (hopefully) learn from their mistakes

The difference between Nintendo and Sony is that Nintendo made billions during these years (most of it from the GBA, but the GC was profitable as well), while Sony lost more than $3.5 billion in the last two and a half years.

 

Sony is far more capable of sustaining losses in their gaming division even for multiple generations ( let's also take into consideration that the $3.5 billion figure is for this generation alone , the previous 2 Sony consoles were both succesful ) , Sony has various sources of revenue whilst Nintendo generates revenue mostly largley from gaming.

Sony can pretty much stay in gaming as long as they want to , but wether the shareholders would like that or not is another issue.

Oh and I'd proly just stick with MS ( assuming they continued to support the traditional gamer).
