I think Nintendo would be the only major developer left standing. Microsoft and Sony would drop their consoles in a heartbeat so the only real options for 3rd party game developers would be either PC or Nintendo. And since the console market is so huge, they will have no choice but to develop some games for the Nintendo console.

Nintendo already is, in some ways, the last video game company

Sony just dropped it's PC/laptop line, cut it's mobile phone line almost completely out, and is talking about dropping TV development.

They are one step away from becoming "Sony Playstation" rather than "Sony". It's the only division that's profitable. I highly doubt they would "drop their consoles in a heartbeat" when really since the PSOne came out they have been on top of the VG industry (with a minor setback that was early ps3 days, but they have gained back 10-fold with the ps4),

They pretty much single handily knocked Sega out the console market with the PS2. With nintendo and it's focus on mobile all of a sudden, the next few years in the industry are going to be interesting.
