I could never see Nintendo going third party. Even if they were in financial trouble (they're not) they would be more likely to just stop making games altogether than continue on as a developer.



Easily Sony selling their games division. The odds of any Nintendo games going legit 3rd party in the next 30 or so years are slim. Whereas Sony is losing money hand over fist.

Also, if people want to play exclusives, buy that console. Why is that so hard?



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Sony is an enormous company that will probably still be around and making video games a very long time from now.

If you go a few decades into the future, there's a good chance there won't be "consoles" as we know them any more. All software developers will be third-party, including both Nintendo and Sony. So I voted Nintendo going third-party, but I don't mean it in a negative way.



Sega buys MS and apple.



Yay!!!

THQ will buy Sony and Nintendo. What do you say to that?



Game of the year 2017 so far:

5. Resident Evil VII
4. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
3. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
2. Horizon Zero Dawn
1. Super Mario Odyssey

SEGA is nowhere near making any returns. They havent even made a return in terms of software, much less hardware.

Sony will bankrupt is the most likely scenario, at wich point their gaming division is probably not in much imediate danger, but it will be on long term.

Nintendo has made money every year, except last year wich they took a loss with to make the 3DS a sucess. It worked so its more money heading their way. Nintendo is in no danger of having to go third party.
If they failed that hard on home consoles they could always stick to the 3DS, but they sold the most last gen so i dont see that happening.



Nintendo would never go third party. This is like thinking a Victoria Secret model is going to date an average bum off the street because she just broke up with her rich boyfriend.

Worst case scenario for Nintendo is they'd start a monstrous bidding war between Sony and MS (and possibly Google and Apple getting in on it too) and could play "king maker" in the console sector by going exclusive in exchange for a big amount of cash per year, full studio independence, hardware design input, etc.

Microsoft would cave the moment Nintendo threatened to go meet with Apple and that would be that.

Sony will leave the game industry first IMO, though I think in this scenario Sony and Nintendo would bury the hatchet and agree to team up.



Samsung buys up Apple, Microsoft, Sony & Nintendo and then decides it doesn't really want to create or publish games thereby ushering in the next video game collapse.



So are Zombies more likely to invade the USA because many are fat and juicy or China where the food is way more plentiful and spicy? Oh and uh is Mario more likely to catch an STD given from Bowser, given to peach who gives it to him, or is he more likely he really is a virgin all this time?
