There really isn't anyway they can fail in the foreseeable future. The Wii U could be a giant flop but the 3DS isn't, and they've got billions left over from the Wii. It'd probably take 2 of their next consoles to flop (including Wii U) to put them in any serious trouble. And it's gonna be incredibly hard for the Wii U to be a flop. Nintendo isn't gonna sell it at a loss (it'd be very surprising if they do), so even if it did like 40m units it'd still make up for the R&D and other initial investments and make them money.
