Microsoft is losing it. They need a reliable console, and they just don't have one. They also don't have as many good exclusive games as the other two. Plus, they don't have a handheld console. The DS and PSP are really helpful for Nintendo and Sony, and without the PSP, I don't think Sony would have survived this long. After Microsoft, Sony's gonna go. Let's face it, the PSP Go is a flop, I'm not sure what they were thinking when they released it. Then there's the PS3. They're just now dropping the price to something affordable, but it's going to be hard to make up that lost ground. Nintendo's gonna stick around the longest, just because they have the largest variety of games, the best handheld system, and the longest history. Yes, Chronabis, the best handheld. You see, the PSP may be technologically superior, but the DS has way more good games than the PSP, and you gotta admit that the newest upgrade for the DS, the DSi, is a whole lot better (and smarter) than Sony's new system, the PSP Go. Nintendo also has the advantage of attracting the larger market, the casual gamer.

that all depends on what you would call a casual gamer. i dont know one person, not one, that has a Wii. no, i take that back, my 5 yr old cousin has a Wii in his room, but other than him, everybody i know has either a 360 or a ps3.

if you consider little kids casual gamers, then yea, it is for the casual gamers. thats what nintendo has basically become: a little kid's console. i also only know one person who has a DS, and thats my other cousin, who is 12. so yeah, that pretty much explains that one

all of their games are the same 'oh no, someone kidnapped the princess!!' or, 'oh no, someone stole ____!!'. sure, their games are pretty different gameplay wise, but story wise, they are all pretty much the same.

plus, i dont think you can mod a DS, which obviously makes the PSP the better system, regardless. also, DS cant hold music on it, which is nice for people that dont want to spend a huge chunk of money for an MP3 player, they can do it with the PSP.

Sony will probably die first because their market includes the few and mighty PS fanboys who will stick with sony no matter what consol they make because they enjoy the graphics and their exclusive selection of games. Sony is already making a wii like consol addon for ps3 wich will just be another gimick. To me; Sony is going the way of nintendo with fewer fanboys to back them up.

I say Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft are MUCH bigger and more likely to live longer. I mean Nintendo has been around pretty long, longer than the other too I think.

Sony will go down in flames (lol) first because Nintendo is holding on with the Wii and Microsoft is gripping to the PC. Sony has ran out of ideas for gaming systems and they will burstin flames shortly. *Sony bursts in flames on a specific day/time*

I'm beginning to think they will ALL go down in flames...well at least for me they will. The consoles of today are becoming more and more like computers and will eventually just become one. Really, why the hell do I need my gaming console to play DVD's or be able to store movies and what not? I miss the good ol' days when they just played games

As for who will die first, it's going to be Microsoft. The only reason they have stayed alive for so long is because they are hugely overrated. The console isn't that reliable and the exclusive games are just as overrated half the time *cough*HALO*cough*. Besides, most games today are multi-platform games and almost anything you can get on the 360 you can get on the PS3 and sometimes the Wii.

I'm stopping myself now before I go on a huge rant.

That's a though choice. I love Sony Play Station but I have a feeling it will end just like Sega Geneis another console I loved.

Well, all of them have lots of games that I like.
I voted nintendo, because I usually play games on the other consoles and simply I don't want to see them dying

sorry to say but sony will they are running out of ideas and really cant do anything else unlike microsoft which could always make computers and nintendo will always have thier handhelds

Microsoft is going to die first, the gods predicted it, the game part will die, but the rest will survive

I say Microsoft only because if Natal is`nt full of win, they will be the only game system maker with out a motion control.

eh, im pretty sure sony will die out 1st. even if microsoft fails in the game industry, they will still have their computers and crap to build. nintendo is still going strong and with mario galaxy 2 already out i don't see them stopping anytime soon.

It's sad to say that it will probably be Sony. Mainly because the PS3 is basically a PS2 with amped up graphics while the XBox 360 had many improvements on the original XBox. If dreams came true then Sony and Microsoft would form a master corporation and kick Nintendo in the face.

Microsoft is used by so many people that it will survive. Nintendo have the best selling game system. Sony dies first.

i think that nintendo cause of most of their new games(excluding mario galaxy 1&2)are mostly just pointless.they need to open their eyes and make games like they did before

That's really debatable. Microsoft is really populaur, and even if the Xbox fails,
they still have their entire computer company. Sony also makes more than just video games,
but it would be also out of the question to say nintendo would fall first. the have the biggest fanbase and the most popular and recognizable characters. it's tough to say,
i really hope none of them go down.

I'm pretty sure none of those will die or all of them will die at the same time. They are all very popular so I doubt that they die soon.

i think microsoft will die off because of its terrible software

im guessing Sony would be the next video game company to go because after the ps2 things started not going to well with their consoles like wi-fi,etc.

Nintendo is video games. They're not going anywhere. Sony does a very good job as well. I don't like X-Box. They're gonna die first.
