as far as companies go, I doubt song or microsoft will ever die because they are involved in so much more than just video games, nintendo will last as long as there are fans of their handheld systems.........but even if they are forced out of consoles they can still make a killing transitioning to a 3rd party software provider, a lot better than sega did. so I don't see them dying in the near future.

To be honest, any of them could go under. Nintendo could fail to adapt to the new videogame market paradigm, Sony already proves they dont have much direction and alternate cycles of brilliance with long cycles of dumbness and Microsoft is probably the most likely to go under if you ask me. Without Bill gates the company doesnt seem to have any vision. With SteamOS coming their biggest money maker, windows, will be under a very serious threat.

Lol do you seriously think PC gaming is where MS is getting it's majority of OS sales? Dude Windows is in businesses and schools all around the world. You're thinking too small.

That is a good point, but if SteamOS gains popularity by beeing more efficient and simple to use, whats stopping Valve from expanding to businesses? This doesnt really matter at any rate, we are talking hocus pocus. Anything can happen. There is no one right on wrong in this discussion.
