For your first paragraph: Nintendo actually has billions of dollars in reserve. And by that, I really do mean "just sitting around." I once heard that Nintendo could stop releasing even one product, continue to pay all of its current employees their current salaries, and still operate without a hitch for several years. Nintendo's worth more than Sony (it was the number two company in Japan for a while). They wouldn't be stupid enough to burn money for marketshare, but if they wanted to, they completely could. Don't buy into the myth!
For your second paragraph, I've got some light reading you can look into, if you have the time and inclination to learn more about how the Wii really was a direct move against its competitors.
