Which system do you think will die first? Playstation or Xbox? We all know that Nintendo is in the strongest position financially, and is dominating the handheld console market, and (I heard this on the rev forum) the Gamecube is outselling the Xbox 360. (Note: Nintendo made $4.5billion last console generation, Microsoft LOST around that, and Sony made $2.5 Billion, which was used to help the struggling other parts of the company).

So, in an inversion of the usual "when do you think Nintendo is going to die/Nintendo merging with sega/microsoft/sony" threads, how about this one?

Personally I think it will be Sony, and really, it will be a sad day for gaming when they pull out. They were responsible for injecting some street-cred into the industry and some 'coolness' (depends on who you talk to). So yeah.

Please dont burn the different systems, either. They all have their merits.

Microsoft seems to want to stay in no matter what, but PS is the only profitable part of Sony :lol:

SONY are probably the most likely

There business is already losing money in other departments (movies etc)

Nintendo are making a little bit on GC and LOADS on DS

Microsoft make TONS anyways

Microsoft could pull out if 360 doesn't make money, they are a business that don't need gaming so if it isn't doing well they could pull out.

Ninty would probably be the last because they NEED gaming, losing that would mean the dreaded A word "administration"

Sony are most likely to go because they Ms have poured money in and have enough to keep putting more in until they succeed, Nintendo well this is all they do and they already made the a huge profit on gamecube even though it's probably one of there worst selling consoles to date.  Ms are doing well in other areas, Sony aren't, Nintendo only have this area.

As much money as they have it makes no sense to keep pouring all of your money into something that's failing if the Xbox does fail. Chances are they'll just make another system. But I think Xbox will go first because Sony is notorious for having long-lived consoles.

MS will not die due to the fact that even if Xbox360 lost them 30 Billion Dollars, they would still throw another 10 billion into X720 without a second thought.

I think Wii is clearly going to be off the market first, or at least the GBA to the DS of consoles.  I think Nintendo is going to use the truckloads of money they're making this generation and start off next generation with a head start and graphics to match the competition.

Either the Wii or the PS3. The 360 is secure and will survive a console generation, easily. The PS3 is too expensive and will likely die first. The Wii should be the first to die, but it will linger like the Gamecube since it is cheaper.
