I'm kind of surprised Sony's percentage is so high...anyone think we'll see a big VG merger anytime soon?

I feel like Sony is positioning itself to sell all-in-one home entertainment boxes, like Microsoft. Nintendo has maintained gaming as their primary focus. When Sony and MS added DVD-playing capability, Nintendo went with 3.5" mini-DVDs. My worry is that Nintendo might get nudged out of the hardware market a la Sega. I'll bet Nintendo could survive, though. Their first-party games would easily reach the sales numbers required to maintain the business. Plus, they've got GBA, which isn't going anywhere but forward.

Just goes to show you how consumer electronics' razor thin margins compare to the profits involved with shipping metal discs for $50 a pop.
