Who is more likely to give Nintendo a run;next gen?Nintendo's demise?

[Bodhesatva]

"Demise" is a very loaded word. Sony isn't dead even though they experienced a monumental drop in marketshare and have lost billions of dollars. How about we just say "who is more likely to leap frog Nintendo in the console wars?" That's a more reasonable question.

I think Microsoft, simply because of XBL and Microsoft's amazing ability to slowly but steadily take over markets. Historically, they gradually build marketshare, and thus far this generation, they've increased marketshare, absolute sales, and revenue, and profit. I think XBL is the next step in retaining gamers; that is, it makes and Xbox 360 owner much more likely to buy an Xbox 720 than, say, a Wii owner would be to buy a Wii 2, or even a PS3 owner is to buy a PS4.

I could make arguments for Sony and even Apple, though. Predicting that far into the future is incredibly difficult, so I'll just agree that it's entirely possible that the Wii 2 will experience a significant marketshare decline in this ever changing industry.
