What's more likely, Nintendo going third party or Sony selling off their gaming division?

After all the money the PS2 printed I highly doubt they will give up too easily. Nintendo would be able to go the Sega route an be fine since they have so many characters and franchises to work with.

 

"Buried in reams of financial data is the revelation that Nintendo have 812.8 billion Yen (£6.7/$10.5 billion) in the bank - enough for it to take a 20 billion Yen loss (£163/$257 million) every year until 2052. Then there's almost 469 billion Yen (£3.8/$6.0 billion) held in premises, equipment and investments. When that runs out - we're in the year 2075 by this point - they've got some of the most valuable intellectual property in gaming to sell off before the company goes out of business."

Sony will sell off their gaming division long before Nintendo ever goes third party. Also, I guess I will remind everyone that Nintendo is never going 3rd party. They said themselves that the day they stop making consoles is the day they stop making video games. Still, I don't want either of these options to happen.
