You probably shouldn't wish that. In my opinion if Activision stopped supporting Sony consoles it would likely lead to a complete collapse of the Playstation brand in North America. Then its two remaining major markets (Japan, Europe) would be a tough sell to some third-parties (especially Western ones with games that have never done particularly well in Japan). I wouldn't be surprised to see it have a domino effect with other third-parties likely helped along with Microsoft moneyhats and other incentives.
I know some people think Sony could completely support themselves like Nintendo but I think they're deluding themselves. Sony's HD games are far more expensive to make than Nintendo's and Sony isn't making as much off hardware as Nintendo. Also unlike Nintendo, Sony's games seem to cater more to the same crowd that Microsoft's does. It would be hard to imagine they could sustain their consoles with the same level of success as Nintendo did considering the more direct competition.
