Yes it will happen. I obviously don't know when it will happen, but I reckon it will.
Nintendo is a one trick pony - gaming devices - and while very good at it, if the gaming market collapses at any point (which I think it will - most, if not all markets collapse at some point as gaming did circa 1983) Nintendo will be an inevitable loser and may/will loose big time.
Sony and Microsoft on the other hand, if/when the gaming market collapses, will fair better because they are diversified, although I appreciate that isn't the question being asked.
I am largely platform agnostic. I fail to understand why some people get overly fanboyish about what is an inanimate piece of electronics that's obsolete even before it's launched, when there are far more important things to champion, such as preventing environmental destruction or preventing millions of people dying unnecessarily from illnesses. This fact however, doesn’t mean I am not someone who doesn’t enjoy gaming as a pastime (as I have done for the last 20 years) or doesn’t have a strong interest in how the market is evolving – hence my presence on this site.
Platforms owned – PC, DS, X-Box 360, PS3, PSP and Wii.
