 I don'tsee why you continue to act like Nintendo would drop out in the face of massive failure after failure but Sony's gaming division is invincible, but whatever.

It's very simple and very straight forward.  Sony is JUST as invested if not more as Nintendo is into their gaming division. (In terms of First Party presence, R&D, etc). It's also one of, if not the most successful business sector for Sony.  Additionally, it fits with their business model perfectly.  Sony also has it's hands in literally thousands of other business ventures at any given time.  For Sony to abandon their gaming division,  would be comparable to Nintendo dropping a very important component of their structure.  (Like abolishing Mario from it's software lineup, or Zelda).

Nintendo has only one avenue, gaming.  Now, you're saying "Well that's why they will continue to survive!!!".  If things go south overall for the economies across the globe or continue to depress further,  Or hell Nintendo has a few bad generations with slipping handheld sales to boot?  They have no other options or business outlets for that matter.

I don't believe any of these 3 companies will go out of business and file for bankruptcy.  Sony is in the Music, Movie, Gaming industry and across the board is the most well known entertainment company in the World.  Microsoft dominates the World-wide Computer market by a crazy margin and makes boat loads of profit because of this.  Nintendo stays within their means and doesn't make poor business decisions and is also a landmark for the industry.

With that being said, if the shit hit the fan, who would be the first to die?  Nintendo.  They can't support themselves beyond this all.

The shit is close to hitting the fan for Sony, they're 13 billion in debt the companys value has fallen 75% from 100 billion in 2000 to 18 billion now and hasn't listed any profit in the last 4 years. A few more years like those last few and it could seriously be bye bye Sony.

Do you mind showing a link on where you got this info from please...

Also i think Sony overall as a company is making a small profit now since 2011.
