That was a pleasure, you trully do yout investigation and learn a lot in the way.

Console should be that, things to play videogame, taking advantage of modern media like internet, video streaming and similar is a excellent plus(i use wii for netflix) but still should make for videogames, i think that was the true impact of PS1, they manage easy PC game and viceversa and even the PS2/Xbox thing, with the Xbox being the DirectX version of OpenGL PS2 games.

The future Lineup is fine, Monster Hunter 4 will explode the boom here in japan a little late but still  being the 'Adults Pokemon' plus the other games.Umm Square can do FFX in 4GB, the game weight 2.8GB in OTL(here like 2.5 GB, some dummy out until the International version with 4 Dics) unless they want to put some FFX-2 thing or make better 3D movie scenes, regardless, the  8GB Cart in OTL have only a future game in mind... Super Smash Bros 3D.

About Mario 3D for 3DS, was a shame that Next Level never won that chance here(butterflies), here... umm is possible is the Studio impress miyamoto enough(in OTL giving Luigi Mansion to those was big, and the studio deliver), the idea of a coproduction of Mario 3DS between Nintendo and Naughty Dog would be very interesting here(old Nintendo and Universal friendship, even if that bring us that very bad live-action Mario Movie), think the chance, other that would make for Tokyo with external help(Square?,Enix?) that is the other one, and being the game for 2014 would make the 3DS for that time.

About Sammy, well that was their OTL action as one of the big pachinko(you know, the japanese equivalent of Pinball and Slot machines) companies,they want to expand their sallons of game to become mixed arcades, in the end of millenium when the arcades suffer their big shock, there were 3 companies with the bigger arcade presence(in both machines and Arcade Building who they own): SEGA, Namco and SNK.

Here SEGA is still with their company and very happy with their home consoles. Namco still to be determinated as Bandai Obtain Tailto here, SNK too, Playmore still would want to buy it? maybe Sammy as Sega is out of their reach will try to bid for that when close to bankrupt?.

Again think about it, besided their arcade franchise and port(here Tekken will not be as big as OTL, maybe some Nintendo fans will loved it ported as SEGA have Virtual Figther, Soul Calibur will be good unless make same mistakes as OTL, Ridge Racer...not comment), the only major franchise who have Namco is the Tales of Franchise, the Destiny(here in Saturn for lack of better place) sold a 1 millon unit in japan alone, Symphonia thanks to Nintendo more that 2 millons worldwide and the rest are good hit for the company.

You can do what is better, those are options.
