This could just be my Nintendo fan and conpiracy theorist speaking but honestly, you look at all the consistant hate Nintendo gets from mainstream gaming "journalism" and how much third parties shun them, and suddenly this theory doesn't seem so farfetched.. If you think about it, it is in the third parties' best interest for Nintendo to be gone, as the will no longer have to worry about competing with their games on their deticated hardware. With Nintendo out of the picture, they'd essentailly be able to run the show, as Sony and MS pretty much just design their consoles to accomodate third parties anyway.
I think anyone in the industry who wants Nintendo out also by association supports the industry itself failing, because Nintendo is such a large part of it, without them, I honestly believe it would collapse like a house of cards. I say to anyone who wants Nintendo gone, developer, journalist, or gamer, be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.
If Nintendo left the industry, it would be a pretty sad day. It would be sort of like order 66 in Star Wars where all the Jedi were destroyed and the dark side took over.
