hey racoonerous...your sig sucks.

if sony dropped out Id go nintendo. If they both dropped out I'd go PC.

If MS dropped out I'd go Nintendo and PC.

If one system drops out...whicheber system starts publishing the games I like is the one I would play. Neither Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo are irreplacable in my books. If Sega could be kicked out of console business...no one is sacred.

If Nintendo droped out of home consoles and handheld gaming I would't play games anymore.

If Nintendo were out, I'd go with Sony. That is, if I would be willing to pay for the console.

Which I probably would not.

If SCE fails.... am hopping on the Nintendo bandwagon and getting a Wii. I already have a DS, and am probably gonna buy a Wii in a year or so.

Whatever is best. I went Nintendo, Nintendo, Sony,(with Nintendo) Sony(with nintendo) and Nintendo(Soon with Sony.)

If Sony looks best next gen, i'll go with that... Microsoft, that, Apple or whatever... that.

Note i don't go for the Market leader. It's just seemed to go that way everytime.

Of course... that's the same situation if Nintendo doesn't fail in the console buisness.  If Wii2 comes out and PS4 is better.  Hello PS4.

If it's 360... i'll probably play PC for like 6 months to make sure it's not another 360 RROD fiasco.

Good post.

I may never leave console gaming.But of course there are two exceptions:
1.running out of money
2.dying
depends on which will happen first. ;)
