Am I the only one who thinks this is totally bogus?

Yeah, I am actually thinking that as well.

I can't see either Sony or Microsoft leaving the console market anytime soon. They've both made lots of money from their consoles, even if they have struggled recently, and both companies are big enough to continue for some time despite making losses. I don't really want any of them to stop making consoles, but I wouldn't shed any tears if Sony or Microsoft did.

Not the only one

[Tipzil]

Sony seems the most likely
Microsoft, they have billions D:
Nintendo?
Over my dead body

Nintendo is already in. (Wii U, duh!)

As for the other two, SONY has the higher chance of going seeing as they have lost loads of cash from the PS3.
So in terms of finance, they are gone.

But, like Aussie (spelt your name like an Australian, using 's') Wingman said, I do believe this is a bunch of hogwash and I doubt any of the 3 will leave next generation.

It would probably be Sony considering their financial state. Which means more market share for Nintendo!

[Crackkat]

Many would consider Kinect to be the biggest innovation this generation...

and many more would strongly disagree. as nintendo have revealed (and im not at all surprised), they already experimented with that technology but discovered that it is not suitable for video games. i agree totally, a controller less game is a very limited game.

IDC which one of them leaves, as long as its one of them.I like some of their franchises and would love to play them on a Nintendo console.
Plus if Microsoft leaves(console making, and not gaming in general) then we may get Samus and Master Chief at the Olympic games!

Samus could already be in the Olympic games because she is a Nintendo character.

I don't believe it's just speculation. Competition drives innovation but only if they actually try so yes the more the better, the rumor is from a cloud gaming service...I don't trust it at all.

TTL never said Samus was a Microsoft character, I believe he thinks Samus is a more suitable person to go against Master Chief.

[MoH]

Nah, Master Chief is a character by Microsoft. Not sure if they would give him to competition.

[Two-Tailed Link!]

The olympic idea was a joke. And yes, Samus is Nintendo. I meant for them to do a crossover series. Like when SEGA left, we got M&S@TOG.
A Metroid and Halo Crossover would work fine.

Agreed. The only reason why companies would want to innovate is so they can outshine their competition.
If competion never existed in any market it would be very slow moving I assure you.

[Gamer]

If they do drop out, it would be much easier to grab exclusive game that I needed another console for...

Oh sorry then. It sounded like you were saying Samus was part of MS.
