Sounds similar to 1983 imo and Nintendo brought it all back. Maybe a new player comes out of nowhere and does the same thing again? 

So where does exactly PlayStation dies there to anyone even needs to bring anything back? PlayStation is stronger than ever, why would we need Nintendo and a 'new player' to bring something that won't be even close to dying while PlayStation is there? Pure wishing?

Calm down lol. In this particular scenario, major third parties have all but vanished. We all know the bulk of sales for Playstation is via third party. Take a look at the attatch ratio for their first party games. How many of them have really high attach rates? Not many. Nintendo's IP have some really ridiculous attach rates which is why he said they're self sustaining. They don't NEED third party support to turn a buck. Nintendo was more profitable than either Sony or Microsofts game divisions last quarter and it is all pretty much thanks to their own games. Sony and MS would collapse in those same situations...
