I don't see nintendo getting out of the market, more so as well its the only one that aimes for the market it has.
Ninteno has always been and always will be the place to go for E rated titles, kid friendlyness, and for less than hardcore games. And it always has been innovative.
Some parents just won't buy a 360 or PS3 for there kids given the content on both, 360 tends to be aimed purely at the adult post teenage male, And purely the North American/European Market, look at how few Japanese titles it has for example. While Sony is still Japan heavy, hard core, and RPG for the most.
So its not like the Wii's market will vanish and Nintendo always has been slow and steedy with sells. Plus its phenominal product quality is still there. Another thing we are forgetting is how some bemoan nintenos "Putting the same games out" (sony as well) keep in mind the cultural views of its home market. Most Japanese still listen to the same music and stories and uphold the traditions of ages past. Those who show up as "Otaku's" or into rap, rock, etc are referd to in mainstream Japanese Society as "delinquent youths" among more racially charged titles and face wide spread stigmata. You don't see this publically however for the most given the tradition of saviing face.
Also the Chinese, and Pan Asian Market is gaining steam and growing steedly, now from a money making point of view what they are doing (Sony and Nintendo) makes sense.. On how they arn't changing, they can soon sell to a much larger and less demanding market, in fact if you look globally, the X box tends to be well used in Europe, and North America. Sony is Asia and Africa heavy, as is Nintendo, with both having a small market in Europe, and a shrinking one in North America. And the Asian and African Market Microsoft has yet to have any luck in.
South America tends to be ignored funny enough. But for the first time ever "Asia" market isn't just Japan and Korea anymore, its China, India, Vietnam, Malayasia, even Iran, etc. And given recent current events I think the leaders there would prefer consoles as a means to distract the masses versus PC's given the trouble they have caused. In China blogging services may be pulled ot at least will be monitored 24/7 and now with its trade clout swinging heavily from the US to Russia, South East Asia, and Africa it may be free to deal with this situation in a more .."traditional manner", and South Korea even has all who use the net in the country registerd with there social ID's for enforcement.
America is also pondering such changes. Europe is as Europe always is.
But we make the assumption that our market is the only one and we are "Owed" something. Soon the world may look like nothing how we remember it or see it, and the rest of the world due to western defualts in North America and Europe have allowed the thrid and 2nd world to catch up, in fact for the first time in ages in the US, Canada, and Western Europe, slum towns are in Cities, illiteracy is back. And our vaunted military might is a ghost of its former self.
So with less difficult markets who are on the rise "even if its only as ours are falling" why should they change anything if a bigger base is happy? In fact It would not surprise me if by 2017 we have Atari back in the console game, and a Chinese company as well. Given Japans failures of social changes from iindustrialization, versus population collapse they won't be able to hold the edge they do now. The future is funny like that.
One day your top of the world, a few years later your trying to hold it all together.
