I would be OK with Nintendo-Sony alliance, but people need to get their head outta the clouds if they think Nintendo is going to grovel and lower themselves to just being a "third party developer".
A Victoria Secret model isn't going to lower herself to dating any scrub at the local bar just because she's broken up with her movie star boyfriend. She's still got her standards.
First off, IMO, I think Sony would have to agree to kill the Vita and/or license the tech to Nintendo (which they could use for a future handheld). And Sony would have to provide games for it, so Nintendo gets Sony support on handhelds (not a big deal, but it's something).
Secondly, Sony would have to give Nintendo a gigaton of cash for each year that Nintendo provides Sony with support and Nintendo would have an opt out clause when they wish. And Nintendo would get design input on future hardware in a collaborative manner if they chose to continue working together.
Do that and maybe there's a basis to start discussions from. If Sony says no, Nintendo could always take a similar (probably richer) deal from Microsoft and tip the console wars in their favor. So they have tremendous leverage.
