When has Nintendo failed?

5th and 6th gen

And when making Virtual Boy

I define fail as in them not suceeding in what they set out to do.

Then Wii may have to count as well, as it didn't disrupt the industry in the end.

5th and 6 gen?  They profited throughout those gens.  Nintendo didn't fail at all, they were successful.  Number of units sold doesn't translate to profits.  That's like saying Sony didn't fail this generation because the PS3 did very reasonable.  When in fact, they're still in a loss from the PS3.  For a company, failure and victory translates into profit, not units sold.  Any company sets out so make a profit.

I define fail as in not suceeding in what they set out to do.

If Nintendo only wished to profit, sure, they suceeded. But I think Nintendo had some market strategic goals for those consoles as well.
