Well... I doubt the gaming industry would die if Nintendo isn't #1... It might die if Nintendo leaves the gaming industry however...

And HD isn't killing the gaming industry... Its Endless amount of Microtransactions for $60 games, Shit ton of DLC and all these extra fees that people have to pay that they originally didn't and they don't have too much of an option to not pay them is whats killing the gaming industry...

Eventually people will realise... this is too much... and just stop buying games

With inflation, $60 today is like $45 during PS2 days.  Games have higher production value and cost less today.  It's hard to immagine gaming will die.  As an industry it's expanding.  The format & distribution on pc/console/handheld/mobile/browser/streaming will keep changing though.
