| Nintendo-Europe said: " You say things have worked well for Nintendo, but they were near-bankrupcy before the release of the Wii." This is false, by this time Nintendo DS was already a success and Game Boy Advance and Nintendo Game Cube had globally been profitable. |
Game Boy Advance had been more than profitable. It was kicking ass in the market. The Game Boy brand in general ruled the world from 1989-2005 or so.
But yes, the notion that Nintendo was ever "close to bankruptcy" is incredibly false. They're not Sega. Perhaps if Wii had only sold GC type numbers for the second system in a row, maybe they would have had some cause for concern. But there's no way they were ever close to bankruptcy.
