Which Company Do You Think Would Have The Least Trouble If Gaming Crashed?

[thekin]

I can see a lot of people in this thread did not understand what the op was talking about. "HE SAID ONLY GAMING DIVISION" what that means is that, the other division cannot help in this situation only the gaming division can fend for their-selves.For me it would be

1.Nintendo would be in the least trouble if the market should crash, let's face it, they found a way to revive the market after the 80s crash and are the only company to be able to make money during the resection, yes they lost money during 2011 and 2012, but you have to admit for a company to be able to keep making a profit for 30 years they must have been doing something right (and let's not forget the $10B they have in the bank right now) Plus if the market should crash they can kill off the wii u and focus on 3ds.

2.Sony would have a 50/50 chance of surviving, the reason is during the ps3 era they lost almost all the money they made from previous 2 gens (about $6B), and they themselves said "they cannot let the PS4 fail ( http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/127903-PS4-Isnt-Allowed-to-be-Another-Failure-Says-Sony-Exec)". Let's not forget the vita is not performing well, so they may have to discontinue it if the market crashed, and only focus on the PS4.

3.Microsoft, the only reason the XBOX brand is still alive is because of the other divisions (OS, smart phones, ETC), but seeing as they can't help in this situation, Xbox would be in the worst situation out of the big 3. The xbox division has been bleeding money since the lunch of the original console back in 2001, there is no possible way for the xbox brand to survive a crash, Let's not forget that 2 people (broad Representative and CEO candidate) http://www.theverge.com/2013/11/8/5080192/microsoft-ceo-candidate-stephen-elop-bing-xbox-rumors want to sell off the xbox division because it's not making a profit.
