So nintendo exists how?  Most of the technology they used is developed with their own research department or by outside companies like amd, ibm, etc.  there is no reason why they would need to be gobbled up by a hardware company, they already are one.  


Nintendo have hardware folk who work at Nintendo. Playstation's hardware is a mix of SCEI and Sony, if you sell SCE you're hardly going to give them the patents from Sony. COmparing nintendo to sony is silly because Nintendo are there own business so there hardware teams lies within the nintendo brand. Some of playstations hardware team is from Sony's own engineers.


What patents do you think they would need that wouldnt be given to them?  

Comparing them to nintendo isnt silly at all.  Nintendo is an independent game company that makes its own hardware.  There is no reason Sony would spin off playstation without giving them the tools to be self sustaining.  Plus, isnt the premise of this thread is sony collapses?

If PS still existed, but wasn't run by Sony, would that still be considered a console war loss?

No.

Really? The parent passing off the child to a foster parents custody won't be demoralizing to the fans? We shall see when the time comes

What kind of analogy is that?

Sorry, but this news wouldn't be anywhere near as dramatic or personal as you wish it would be.

In other news, Final Fantasy still exists, but it is run by Deep Silver now.

Couldn't Playstation become its own company if that happened?

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

I would much rather Nintendo buy out Sonys gaming division assets than Microsoft. At least it would be in creative hands.

Nintendo taking it over, and release Mario Kart 8 pocket edition on Vita !

I would love a PlayStation and Nintendo Merger. With Sony handling the hardcore and Nintendo handling the casuals it would be an amazing system.

Samsung so we can get some Korean developers.

Samsung would be terrible. They get on top because of their sheer size, but then just stop innovating. They use gimmicky software and dubious hardware that is cheap compared to the rest of the competition. 

No thanks for Samsung, imo. 

Why the hate for samsung ? They make some pretty good products ...
