Nintendo.

They live and die the most by their systems. Microsoft and Sony have sustainable business elsewhere to prop their companies up if things go South for a generation or two.

Nintendo is unique but they won a price war this generation that's all, The fact that HD consoles combined outsold the Wii by a large margin is a telling statement. It sold on price and gimmick at the start of the generation and survived awhile on some solid games. Unfortunately it's over and it has been consistently outsold for much of the year.

But for Nintendo all it will take is a bad handheld/console generation or two and it might call it quits. The Wii really saved them. Additionally, I would wager most Nintendo owners primarily buy a Nintendo for Nintendo published games specifically as their third party hasn't been good since SNES days. This makes them an obvious candidate to end up as a publisher on superior Hardware.
