From a Business Standpoint, How long should Nintendo and Sony continue on with their Struggling Systems if they continue to do the same?

I think Nintendo and Sony should just join forces

I don't think that would work out well.

Competition makes Nintendo and Sony system better. If Nintendo and Sony merged and made a super system, there would be less competition, and less of a drive to make good exclusives.

After all it's not like Microsoft makes much to appeal to the market outside of USA, especially Japan. If all the good platformers are on this Nintony/Sontendo then there would be much less drive to make them better. Same for RPG's and other exclusives which aren't popular in the West.
