Microsoft would be better off as a company without consoles because their console division has been overall unprofitable. The xbox division is killing microsoft based on what I can tell. Then they could focus on their products that people used to care about, like windows.
Sony would be the second to least effected. They've other electronic divisions that are profitable. They also have internet and insurance.
Nintendo would be completely dead. They only have gaming.

Are you freaking kidding? The EDD (the division Xbox Is in) over the last 6 years has made $3b profit. Overall the Xbox is in the red, suffered heavy losses early on, but for the majority of last gen is was making money.

Regardless of that, you realise MS make like $8 bill a quarter right? Xbox is chump change to them. Killing them??? That's hilarious.

Sony's electronic divisions don't make them much money and each one of them isn't in the best shape right now. Internet????

Jesus dude, I've never seen someone get more worked up by agreeing with someone. Xbox is clearly not profitable if one of the people that may become CEO is considering selling the division. Microsoft makes a ton of money, so yes they would be the least effected, and there's a lot of evidene  suggesting that they lose money on ms. Here, read this article, http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2013/11/08/microsoft-earns-2-billion-a-year-from-android-is-it-time-to-drop-xbox/

Sorry, I'll amend my statement and say it's making them hemorage money.

About your other statement. I'm saying they have other profitable divisions, and yes sony is an internet provider. http://mashable.com/2013/04/15/sony-internet-japan/
