never.
If nintendo is close to 'dying' another company will buy them.
MS will never die!!
And sony is/was close to (Q4 will be interesting), but they will bounce of their low, I have faith. Otherwise they could get rid of some divisions

You obviously too ignorant to even touch on the subject.

Sony has lots of assets (Products line including TV, Tablets, Consoles etc...Patents, Licenses, Studios...) and so does Microsoft.

Nintendo is the only one on the brink of passing through a rough pass, and having to be downgraded to a video game license vendor, like Sega is.

Nintendo never.

Sony will be bought.

Microsoft will forever have windows and office, so they are ok.

never

Nintendo will outlast both of them as far as gaming goes because they make IP themselves, in house...and those IP don't fade. So when consoles and handhelds die, their games will move onto whatever they need to and will thrive.

Sony BUYS studios, and then calls them first party so that security isn't there. Plus, with the exception of GT, nothing has really stayed popular from one generation to the next. Mario has been around since I was in a crib in the early 80's. Sony has never had anything like that, so the future doesn't bode as well for them.

Microsoft is basically a business. They run everything like a business and the bottom line is all they're after. Like Sony, they don't actually HAVE internal studios but rather studios that they bought and assembled. They're sort of cold and souless and they take that approach with the gaming industry. So, as soon as the bubble starts to pop, they will jump onto something else.

As far as companies, Sony is in the worst position because they don't have Window OS like MS and they don't make software like Nintendo. Once the traditional console industry starts to fade and transfer toward something else, what will they do? Make Walkmen? They're going to be in trouble imo.

Let's make a bet.

MS probably won't... They make too much money and control too much shit and has too many patents and too many royalties

To be honest, any of them could go under. Nintendo could fail to adapt to the new videogame market paradigm, Sony already proves they dont have much direction and alternate cycles of brilliance with long cycles of dumbness and Microsoft is probably the most likely to go under if you ask me. Without Bill gates the company doesnt seem to have any vision. With SteamOS coming their biggest money maker, windows, will be under a very serious threat.

Yeah I can totally see enterprise taking up a gaming OS. Gees did you think before you typed that one out. Look at the post above yours. MS are too big to ever go under, and are making more profits today than they ever have.

Lol do you seriously think PC gaming is where MS is getting it's majority of OS sales? Dude Windows is in businesses and schools all around the world. You're thinking too small.
