you are correct, i am making that assumption.
and i'm making this assumption because it is the third party devs and the first party devs of Sony and Microsoft who make the games that the other 50% want to play. if they go bankrupt or leave the game division, do you expect Nintendo to start making Grand Theft Auto, Halo, or Metal Gear?
aside from the fact that Nintendo has little experience in making games in these genres (again, the thread is all about third parties closing down), these IPs are owned by their respective companies and aren't about to be used by anyone else.
so yeah, the 50% will eventually have to find other games to please them. a major percentage would just give up games altogether.
