As for one leaving the HW biz, I doubt anyone will. Gaming is all Nintendo does and they have survived low selling consoles before. At the very maximum, I could see them dropping home consoles and sticking with handhelds. Sony's console business isn't in trouble, it's their TV department that's causing most of their problems. So Sony will stick in there, but may drop, or lower, TV production. MS is possibly the only one I could see leaving next gen. If the NeXbox doesn't sell as well as the 360, they may choose to cut the price to create a larger price gap between it and the PS4. This will be bad, as they will already be losing money on every sale, and this would lead to even greater loses. This may cause another outcry from investors to ditch the gaming market and focus on Windows. It just depends on if MS wishes to listen to them or stick it out til the next gen. I assume they will stick it out.

I can only agree with this. If Nintendo has two very bad gens in a row, they'll probably only focus on handhelds, and if MS continues to lose a shit load of money on x3ox they'll pull the plug and simply make it a multimedia box, probably without the gaming aspect. And Sony will only leave the console business if the PS4 will flop hard and lose them money (which I highly doubt).
