The TC makes a lot of valid points for Sony and in regards to his points for Nintendo I would wholely agree with had he made them 3 years ago. However, with Nintendo's 1st party developments flourishing and them selling all hardware at a profit, there is really no reason for them to drop out of the hardware race. The only reason I would ever have thought that Nintendo would give up would be in the event that next-generation hardware becomes simply too expensive to create and sell at a mass-market price for Nintendo, however, they have effectively proven to me this generation that their software and marketing efforts are so effective and compelling that they could release a console with hardware capabilities generations below the competition and still compete.
