Absolutely nobody has said their handheld sector is in bad shape and indeed the most common proposal floated around is for them to become an exclusively handheld company precisely because of their unsurpassed strength and expertise in that field. I don't think anyone's actually saying "Nintendo will die and stop existing, their franchises sold off to the highest bidders" anyway. Even if all hardware totally collapsed for them they'd follow SEGA into software, not stop existing.Originally Posted by NeoCracker
3DS Surpasses Lifetime Wii Sales in Japan
Yeah, there is basically the response to the 'death of nintendo' trout from Milf's Article. Even if the WiiU bombs, Nintendo's 3DS money right now is pretty damn impressive.
There's an inherent weakness in such a focus - if the WiiU fails (And it is) they've got something to fall back on. If they only make one thing they've got nothing to fall back on if that should go south.
Also you can't really say you want there to be competition and then get mad when there's a loser.
