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.


I was waiting for someone to post this, took you guys long enough.  Just for the record, I don't think either is very likely at all, but the Sony option has an outside (and INCREDIBLY thin) possibility of  happening in relation to the Nintendo one.   I also want to point out that If this poll was being taken in certain corners of the internet I can gurantee that the results would be very different (in favor of Sony).

I almost made the third option a Nintendo/Sony collaboration, but I felt the Sega answer was more fun.
