Sony for sure. They have multiple divisions and almost all of them are troubled... |
Well Sony can at least lose the divisions that don't make any profit. Nintendo practically only has one division(if you go by their archaic stance that hardware and software belong together) so if that starts losing too much money it's over.
But the most important thing here is that none of those two will stop making consoles and games. If they go bancrupt there will be numerous investors standing by to keep up the business.

From the standpoint of a long-time console maker who has just about ONLY made vidoe games for the past 30 or so years, there is nothing at all "archaic" about the philosophy that hardware and software should belong together. By saying that, you're impying that you think Nintendo should go third party, and by extention that you think only big corporations like Sony and MS should be in the hardware business. Which is, I'm happy to say, flat out wrong.

What I'm saying is that they openly cling to that strategy they've had for decades. It was born in a time where this was the only way. That time is gone, people make billions without having to provide both hardware and software. I'm not saying that it doesn't work anymore but that it is a stretegy that was created in a different time and is not the only option and probably not even one of the best anymore.
If that strategy one day doesn't work anymore but they still refuse to go 3rd party then I am correct.
