Why is Nintendo always portrayed as the company deemed to fail?

Nobody is saying that, the hip thing nowadays is to write Sony doom articles.

Been reading alot of articles on the web saying that the Wii U will be Nintendo's down fall so I thought I'd look it up and break it down :( It was my first thread. I'm sorry

Good first thread I think.

It would always be fashionable for certain people to bash Nintendo, simply because they grew up with PS and not Nintendo. I think people like myself that lived throught the 8 bit days have a bit more love for the Nintendo and the industry and do not base our opinions on what is bigger, badder, or even better.

While Nintendo fans, like myself, do sometime take the opportunity to bash Sony (and much less MS) we only do so in light of the failed efforts and prayers of the mostly Sony fanboys in bringing about Nintendo's demise.

The simple fact of the matter is that today Nintendo is doing better than either Sony or MS when it comes to the videogames industry. So the Sony doom articles are quite justified, because Sony are in need of urgent restructure in their gaming devision - since their first party games sell like crap, hardware is only bought by fanboys, while sucessful software ideas are dependent on 3rd parties. Almost the opposite of this is true about Nintendo.
