I dunno. I'd probably start reading books and go out and get laid.

^ Totally contradicts every gamers life, but what I would do? I would hope zelda gets exclusive on the playstation franchise.

nothing as they would either support Sony or go multiplatform and i'd seek out MS to fill the void.

it won't happen anytime soon so i'm not to worried.

i left Nintendo this gen anyway. i'm a part timer when it come to Nintendo anyway waiting for skyward sword and WiiU to innovate.

I would play more on my PS3, but not as much as I currently do on my Wii, 3DS and PS3

Nintendo biting the dust - won't happen in the foreseeable future, regardless of stock situation their cash reserves are huge, not to mention that they still sell quite nicely, just not gangbusters.

But if it somehow did happen (and not as part as some world catastrophe...) - video games are for me just another way to have fun, so if Nintendo were gone, since i am not interested in the products from the other companies, I'll just have more time to read again.

If they bite the dust, really hope they don't go the same way of Sega and develop for the evil sony.

For my gaming, maybe i will collect past consoles and games from Nintendo and go back to PC gaming.

But we must first concentrate ourselves on the way to entertain people, for video games to live. Else, it's a world where sales representative will win, which has as effect to kill creativity. I want to say to the creators all around the world:"Courage, Dare!". Shigeru Miyamoto.

I would stop gaming... I buy a lot of games, but my main motivation is Zelda, so no Zelda = no more gaming... I dont care about the other consoles, so yes no more gaming.

I doubt the company would completely fall apart, but if Nintendo went the same direction as Sega I would probably react the same was as I did when that happened. I have always been a big fan of both Sega and Nintendo. When Sega went multiplatform at first I didn't want to believe it and then I was angry. I finally accepted the fact that Sonic was on Gamecube, Virtua Fighter was on PS2, and Panzer Dragoon was on Xbox.

I would still prefer it if Sega was still in the hardware business, but I've adapted and I'm sure I'd adapt to Mario Kart on PS3 and Metroid on Xbox.
