Why are people talking as if Miyamoto is keeping Nintendo running? I thought he was training the younger devs nowadays and taking a less...up-front role.

Anyways, when somebody says Nintendo will be around it's just in response to people who instantly shout doom at every little stumble.

They don't literally mean they'll be around "forever." They just mean they'll be around a long time from now because the fact that they makes sure to keep a warchest close to them, have been profitable for the majority of their years, keep their franchises at a quality that continues to keep them in high demand, don't sell hardware at big losses and don't really do the seemingly unsustainable high budget sell-or-bust thing inspires confidence in their future financial state and longevity.
