There's no way that Nintendo will just keel over an die. They merely appeal to a different market segment than Sony and Microsoft. Plus with the Nintendo DS, it is in direct competition with the Sony PSP which means that it will prevent Sony from gaining that much of the market segment early one. (I'm talking direct competition as in age of people being targeted) Sony PSP looks good on paper, but how will it be in reality. Once people realize they are getting ripped off buying propritary movies and music they'll have second thoughts. Only people with money to burn will continue to buy movies and music to play on their PSP's or they will slow down their buying which will hurt Sony slightly. Even if the next Nintendo system can't compete with PS3 and Xbox2 performancewise, it doesn't matter becaues their market segment is different and it's all about the games. It doesn't matter if your graphics are slightly off, I mean you didn't see everyone just ditch their PS2 in favor of Xbox when it came out. Plus there's the issue of Pricing. Nintendo's products have usually been priced lower than Microsoft and Sony, hence creating more competetion. With more competition, it's will probably hurt all three companies a bit, but ultimatly mean profit for us consumers as better games and products come to market.
