I wouldn't call them dominant in 3 generations. I mean NES sure...SNES not so much. Snes and Genesis pretty close in marketshare for a long time, with Sega getting a lot more profits than ninty in 1993 and 1994.

Wii is Nintendos return to dominating. Everyone keeps pretending like ninty could do no wrong...while they really have not been a dominant sales force since early 90s when it comes to home consoles. Untill the Wii...

In any case the word doomed is an exageration. No one is saying ninty is doomed but some of their consoles like N64, Gamecube were shortchanged due to bad decisions. This is the doom media writes about... Doesn't mean everyone at nintendo is burning in hell...

Nintendo was always more profitable than Sega.  In those two years you named, Nintendo made more than double what Sega did.

 My bad, I remember reading sega had 65% marketshare in 1993 and 45% in 1994, I assumed it meant bigger profits.
