In my opinion, if nintendo go the way of Sony or Microsoft, the consumer will still take up a new console but the increase in video game userbase will be smaller in general without these "fishes" from the blue ocean. The console price will push these some more people further away.
With lower userbase and increasing cost will push developer into looking for other opitions. In the last gen, a lot of developer are already pulling out red figure in their profit and this will only be worse.
Beside, for nintendo this is a much better opition, if they follow the above, they will be in a very bad position now.
