I don't want to see any console fail either. However if the 360 failed it would teach MS a lesson:
Make a more reliable console.

I wouldn't want any of them to go away, but the Xbox 360 brings the least to the table. It shares too many games with PC and PS3. Wii, DS, PSP, PC, and PS3 all have very different libraries.

I'd be interested in seeing each scenario. If the Wii failed, would Nintendo get out of the console business? If the PS3 failed, would the PS4 be able to pick up the pieces? If the 360 failed, would Microsoft try a third time?

I would say the 360. Most of it's games I want end up on either the PS3 or the PC. The online isn't free. The hardware has had lots of problems. It is the weakest of the 3 IMO.

Yeah 360 or PS3. Both similar enough for it not to matter too much. Then bring back a Sega console so Nintendo can crush it again :D

As someone who owns all of their consoles, I don't want anyone to fail and leave the industry.

It isn't that we want any of them to fail. I took the question to mean that if you had to pick one of them to fail then which one and why.

You realize of course, that if the Wii didn';t exist, the only other place for that shovelware to go would be on the other consoles? :|

Ummm.... no. There will always be shovelware, and it will always go to the most popular console. If the Wii was gone, the shovelware would just go to the other systems. PS2 had shovelware, PS1 had shovelware, SNES had shovelware, NES had shovelware, and Atari 2600 had shovelware.

None, but the 360 would go first. It shares a lot of its featured titles with PC/PS3 as it is.

Owned.

Yeah, I'd say that even though I really dislike Microsoft's handling of the 360 (and PCs as well, Vista is ass), I would say the PS3. It tries too hard to be a computer, which isn't what consoles shoud have.

If the Wii dropped out, there would be nowhere to distribute all the lame party games, third party bargain bin titles, sport vehicle endorsements (Kawasaki), and Nintendo 64 rehashes... Is that really such a bad thing then?

None. Even if I don't like/prefer a system, I'm not going to let myself be bothered over its mere existence. O how much a better a world it would be if more people thought this way with all other areas of life...

Well, I agree that MS should learn a lesson for the 360s failure rate. But, honestly, aren't they already getting licked because of it? I can't remember the number, I thought it was in the billions they have to pay to replace so many units. Thats lesson enough. I'm quite sure we will not see anything like this on their next system.

The Wii to me serves such little purpose. I like the idea of virtual console, but their current games, save more maybe...one or two, all suck.

None: the 360 and PS3 need each other to create some competition, and the Wii is essential for making gaming less repulsive to the mainstream.

If the 360 dropped out, other consoles would have to be more concerned about hardware failure.

With every other 360 dieing, nobody cares if a Wii or PS3 breaks.

Is that really such a bad thing?

Prediction: PS4 will be sonys last console.

PS3 marked the time in the industry where Sony shot their brand name in the foot. Its laughable that brand loyalty between the PS3 and 360 is so close, even with RROD.

Next gen, when MS gets another headstart, they will more likely hold their lead cause Sony LOST their PS2 brand loyalty by then.

Thats what cows fear....and what I cant wait to see happen.

None. Without the PS3 means no more FF13 :(. Without the 360 means no more Gears 2 :(. Without the Wii, no more Kid Icarus Wii and every other famous franchises.

If anything I'd have the 360 dropped out.

Too much console failure (mine's dead right now), too much for accessories ($100 for a wireless adapter, WTF?!), and general overpricing of things (most DLC)

from what I heard FF13 uses an engine that is quite compatable with 360. Plus without the cell and its difficulties, u wont have to wait as long for the game to finish.

Keep dreaming, Nintendo already showed that it's possible to come back from a beating. Nintendo with the N64 and Gamecube they lost two generations and now they're back on top. Sony aren't going anywhere.

I want all three of them to stay. But if one had to leave it would have to either be 360 or PS3. Not because the Wii is better then them but because they are both so similar.

Who'd they lose to with the N64? I agree the Gamecube wasn't great but the N64 was legendary.

The Sony Playstation. The N64 had great line-up with some killer games but the Sony Playstation was better.

i'd hate to see any fall out of the race.

if i had to say something, then it would have to be wii. not nintendo all together, but just that system in particular.

i personally don't find its games compelling, i like the nintendo stable though.
