I think they could be, largely on the basis on their IP properties.

They are basically the Japanese Walt Disney.

I imagine though like Disney, Nintendo will probably morph more into a media/entertainment company as "video game hardware" becomes more of a thing of the past.

Pretty much, yeah. I can't imagine any way that Sony or MS could be as successful in a 3rd party only market, right now anyway. Perhaps their IPs will grow to the level of Mario over time, but I'm not confident.

Also, they won't be bought by Disney, because Disney don't care much. They're not even putting Kingdom Hearts on the Wii U, of course.

Disney cares about acquiring intellectual property without question and most certainly family friendly IP at that. They don't give a crap about one little licensed video game that means practically nothing to their own bottom line.

Saying they have no interest in Nintendo because they of Kindgom Hearts 3 not being on some platform is like saying they would have no interest in Marvel Comics because they cancelled their Mickey Mouse comic book series or something, lol. Disney doesn't give a crap about the comic book industry, but they obviously know Marvel's IP is well worth it for other areas.

That was meant to be sarcasm, sorry. I guess I didn't make it obvious enough.

Having said that, I don't see Nintendo doing that, because they've said several times they want complete freedom, which is why they have no interest in going 3rd party.

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

what an idiotic statement

how the hell can he say something like this with a straight face?

he just plucked a number out of his arse.

I'll say that they aren't here in a hundred years, nor Sony and MS too, not in the form we know them now at any rate.

Sometimes I question your cognitive capacity of giving a reasonable answer considering how you react to harmless statements. It's like you lost the link of cause and effect.
