Yah looks accurate. Nintendo was more profitable with GameCube then Sony was with PS2 and Microsoft was with X-Box. I know they did very well during N64 as well. Nintendo operating at a 200-million loss this year sounds worse then it actually is. That is such a small loss it should barely even be noticed. Look at the losses Sony took the year they launched PS3 or Microsoft the years it lost for Xbox and later some of the years they lost with 360!
Nintendo should be just fine assuming they don't panic. If Nintendo's share holders panic and Nintendo executives lose their heads then this could spell doom for Nintendo. Nintendo needs to maintain their course and continue to invest in great hardware and games this one loss will not kill the company. Hell they could take 65 years of losses at 200 mill a year before they actually went belly up.
Sega fought to the bitter end and if Nintendo did so as well then they will be around for another 60+ years at least!
