As Nintendo, ever since they got into video games about 3 decades a go, has consistently been the world's best games developer and the most innovating gaming company both in software and hardware, I am, for the sake of gaming as an entertainment form and art form, very happy that they are back in the strongest position possible.
Nintendo will never be afraid to try completely new stuff that will turn gaming upside down, as they have done time and again, even with a couple of bumps along the way (e.g. Virtual Boy).
Hiroshi Yamauchi was a brilliant businessman, but when he was getting too old and a grumpy and things were starting to go downhill for Nintendo, he handed the wheel to Saturo Iwata, who for some reason had a godlike gift to see where gaming was going and how Nintendo could take the throne again.
What separates Nintendo from the other hardware makers is that they are at heart an entertainment company, and that will stay as the deciding factor in everything they do. It also helps a great deal that Saturo Iwata himself has a background as "program-all-night-long-just-give-me-more-coffee" games developer, I thinks he knows how to get the best out of their talent. For this I also believe Nintendo will stay strong even when Shigeru Miyamoto retires one day.
