Which will be the first Company to exit Console bzness & which will enter

[thetonestarr]

Sony will leave, in a fashion, next generation. Not entirely, but their system won't be marketed primarily as a videogame console anymore. The Playstation will eventually turn into a competitor for the Mac and PC.

Microsoft will be the first to abandon the home console business (this will be particularly because the Playstation 4 will be greatly threatening their desktop space... exactly what Microsoft has been trying to keep Sony from doing, with their Xbox).

Apple will move into the handheld scene, effectively pushing Sony out of it, but still not managing to move Nintendo out of first.

Phillips will re-enter the home console scene.
