Haha the doom in this thread is delicious! I'm really not that worried about Nintendo though.


Maybe it's for the best honestly. The company has become lazy since the height of the DS/Wii days and has not adjusted. It's time for changes especially now that Yamauchi is not there to shield Iwata from shareholders (as he was the biggest single shareholder before) anymore. 

It's time for Nintendo to wake up to the reality that the Wii-era is over. 

Yeah whatever happens I'm not worried. They've got the cash in the bank to lose some money rearranging their company if they need to. As long as they stay true to their core game development principles I'm happy (gameplay over graphics, don't release it until it's finished etc). Even if they made games for PS4 I wouldn't be upset provided it didn't affect the quality or creativeness of their games. Pride can be a funny thing though...

It would be funny if the failures of the Wii U and Vita brought Sony together with Nintendo. 

I think Nintendo *might* be OK with it if they were allowed to manufacture their own version of the PS4 (perhaps with the Wii U integrated within? That way it could play all Wii/Wii U games and PS4 software). 

The other reason that might work is they're both Japanese companies and the head of the entire Sony corporation is a video game man (Kaz), so Iwata would be more easily able to communicate with him. And Sony simply doesn't have the money to buy out Nintendo, so Nintendo would be able to stay indepedent (whereas an alliance with Apple, Google, MS, etc. might put Nintendo in danger of being bought even if it works out well, lol).
