The Nintendoom began during the N64 era, it's nothing new. It was their back-to-back-to back (including Virtual Boy) sales failures that put great doubt on Nintendo's ability to stay in the game. That's what's always in the back of peoples' minds, it's the knowledge that at any point Nintendo is capable of making huge mistakes. Yet at the same time by so many others, Nintendo is often thought of as the one company that will be making games longer than anyone else. There's a balance to all of this, and I'm not sure that the OP has really given proper perspective on the issue.
