Nintendo doom around PSP launch was way (but miles away) worse than now.
In one side they had the dead Gamecube (probably the last Nintendo console) and at the other they had the soon to be dead gimmicky DS (PSP was going to be the next PS2.)
Nintendo going third party and becoming the next Sega at that time almost was not considered dooming/trolling. And that fueled a lot by sony's arrogant PR - they are now 98% more humble and don't stir that fight anymore - for obvious reasons.
So in a way, Nintendo doom won't ever stop, but it's not at its all time high by a long shot.
