I give it five years before we get an Ultimate Crisis, where Marvel has the Ultimate universe/continuity take over the 616. If they do so, I hope they do it better than DC did. Here's what I would do. Ultimate X-Men, Spider-Man, FF, and Ultimates continue. This covers all the major bases for the Marvel universe. Solo books spin out of these, based on the Ultimate continuity (Captain America, Iron Man, Wolverine, Thor, Daredevil, Punisher, Dr. Strange, etc.). This allows Marvel to publish close to the same number of books, while streamlining their comics to make them more accessible, and more in line with their other media incarnations (notice how much closer the Spider-Man films, X-Men films, and the latest video games and cartoons (the upcoming FF cartoon, the Ultimates DVDs) are to the Ultimate versions of the characters than they are to the 616 universe.
While many readers say they'd quit reading Marvel comics if they ever did this, I doubt most of them really would. Crisis didn't kill the DC, and an Ultimate Crisis wouldn't kill Marvel.
