I didnt really post it for the second half of the article...
Its the first half.. Sony (more so) and Nintendo profits will have been hammered with the currency movements over the last month or so.
The euro hit an 8 yr low recently against the Yen.... thats lower than it was when Sony blamed it for making tham have huge losses.
So any Sony projected profit is under threat again and Nintendo profits will be hit...
MS isn't immune either as the Dollar has also gained againt the Euro... just not by as much.

The timing of this article is a little bit odd. I could be wrong, but I think all those Iwata quotes were taken from Nintendo's investors briefing which was quite a few weeks ago.

The quotes are taken from an interview at E3, the video is on the site. You're right to suspect 'Nintendo is doomed' from this reporter though.

"Both the 360 and PS3 have a good future. It is unlikely either will be replaced by a new system in the next five years (2014 WTF?) and the manufacturers have been keen to emphasise new developments in their control system as well as showcasing a range of future games. The future of the Nintendo Wii, in its current form, is less certain. In the past, Nintendo has declined to comment on the Wii's future, saying that it was focusing on "taking all the experience we gained over the past five years and applying that in a way that creates extremely deep game play experiences that takes advantage of motion control".
