Would you prefer that they went out of business entirely, or that they from now on made their games exclusively for Nintendo, but at leat their games still EXIST? It's kind of like the Bayonetta 2 issue all over again. The nerd ragers ignored the fact that Sega dropped it and were not going to make the sequel. NOBODY was. Nintendo stepped in and made it happen. People were too busy nerd raging over their not wanting to "have to buy a Nintendo console", to realize that the game wouldn't be happening whatsoever if Nintendo wasn't footing the bill. This would be a very similar case.
And as far as SMT x Fire Emblem specifically is concerned, Nintendo knows that they need all the games for Wii U that they can get, and this is bound to be a quality exclusive that has already generated some excitement and buzz. Nintendo would be stupid to cancel it outright, and I think they also realize that, like Monolith Soft, Atlus would be another great developer to have in their stable. So again, I could see it happening, even though this is only a rumor.
