The title is worth a :Facepalm: i know 
but let's look at the facts,
Serato and Ableton are partnering already with the Serato Bridge stuff, Akai is a major supporter of Ableton with it's APC controllers.
NI lacks a proper DAW, but Bitwig, the following major Ableton contender shares the same color design as NI and is situated in Berlin as well, currently a lot of DJ's who also get into producing do favor the Ableton/Serato stuff due to it's integration and lack of features of the Maschine software.
My prediction is that NI will team up with Bitwig to integrate Maschine into the DAW, as this way they can surpass the Ableton/Serato combo and make it more attractive in to DJ+ market.
Now there is Akai, what will Akai do? Is it possible that we see a integration of the new MPC and Ableton/Serato, maybe something like the Melodyne integration into Studio one, a tighter integration beyond VST into Ableton?
Xparis, if you read this, what do you think?
