I'm not sure how you can say that. They control/produce the top 2 hardware platforms around the world at the moment, have the biggest selling titles around the world, have 4 titles in the top-10 best ranked ever, have 70% of hardware sales in Japan & 80% of software sales, etc...
Nintendo are roughly equal to the rest of the entire games industry summed up. For the last 2-3 years anyway.
But what is really important, is the change they have brought about since the DS was introduced. Take a look at the Japanese weekly charts. Compare them to the charts in Japan 2 or 3 years ago.
Compare the raio of "hardcore" games/sales then - versus sales now.
