Nintendo doesn't make loss-leading consoles like MS and Sony, so that's not likely at all.
Even at their low points with N64 and GC they were making money at launch.

It most certainly helps that Nintendo doesn't sell their consoles at losses...... but that doesn't mean much if they can't sell them.
We are a week away from knowing what the Wii U is all about, but I have serious concerns about whether they can make lightning strike twice with Wii like success, because Nintendo never has had that type of success twice in a row before (and not the SNES either btw, because, because of the GENESIS, Nintendo actually lost marketshare).
At any rate, as expensive as making consoles has become, 1 bad generation could cause a MUCH SMALLER Nintendo to quit putting their neck out every 5 - 6 years like they do now.
That's waaaayyy more likely to happen than a government backed (if necessary) Sony deciding to leave their #1 business forever.
