....but not this time.

Those points a true and valid. They have an old business model, got very lucky with the Wii, and now everything is going tits up for them. Sure, the 3DS is going ok for the moment, but will this continue with smartphones etc? Well I've yet to see the kid with the Galaxy AND 3DS, so I'm going to say not for long.
As for the WiiU, well the poor sales say it all.


They got very lucky with the Wii

They got very lucky with the DS

They got very lucky with the 3DS

Come Christmas time you will be saying that they got very lucky with the Wii

How many times does someone have to get lucky before you finally admit they are doing things well?

Yep



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
