alternately... couldn't you just see Nintendo going Sony exclusive (as far as console go, smartphones apart),
given Japanese nationalism/etc, cultural comfort/etc, and Sony clearly having by far strongest global platform?
given Nintendo isn't used to multiplatform development, switching to Sony exclusive would be most natural move IMHO.

its possible but i definitely think MS would shell out alot of money to get some Nintendo love.

but consider the position of MS in Nintendo's home market, Japan,
and that MS exclusivity effectively means cutting Japan market off,
which would be a crazy move if Nintendo would be serious about protecting the legacy of their IP.
more likely is the MS might pay Nintendo to also give them a port, i.e. not go exclusive for Sony, 
who probably has effective lead of at least 3:1 as far as Nintendo games would go (i.e. considering Japan market, platform preferences etc)
