Could anyone really kill Nintendo?

Anyone who say's Nintendo cannot fall is just silly. If Nintendo had lost both their console and their handheld market, then by default they would also lose their software market because no one has the hardware to play the software on. Nintendo could probably take 2 hit's, I'd imagine that even Sony and Microsoft could walk away with another one, but it doesn't make them unstoppable. 

Any company can pull a stupid move, management may change, deadlines aren't met, lack of interest from the general public, over saturation and the list goes on. Nintendo only need a combination of a few big negatives and it could go under. 

Nintendo have been lucky in the last two generation's, without the Gameboy they would have had a much harder time coming into the current generation. It's not like Nintendo never had financial problems, hell in 1964 their stock's dropped to 60 Yen and they nearly went under. 

Anything could happen, we've seen plenty of multi billion dollar corporations disappear and Nintendo aren't shielded from failure.

Nintendo survived Japan's economy of the 1990s and put Sega out of the console business to boot. For a refresher, imagine the world economy of 2008 and 2009 lasting for a decade. Nintendo not only survived but thrived.

The only way Nintendo could fail is by falling in love with the short term profits their owners demand and putting out an overpriced console with blu ray with an entry point of $499 and $599. Ouch! Mean hit on Sony and the PS3.

Seriously, until Nintendo confirms Luigi is a homosexual and Wario is a dirty bear who likes to grease up his hairy chest and play with leather, I do not see them failing.

Nothing is impossible, far weirder thing's have happened in the world. Nintendo aren't a miracle brought to Earth in the form of a game company so that they may develop game's in God's image, they are a business, businesses have failed before.
