Nintendo will remain financially viable due to 3DS sales. This isn't the first time Nintendo launched a failed home console. The N64 and GameCube were consecutive commercial failures, yet Nintendo remained in business because of their handheld department, which has always been profitable. Even if we take the 3DS out of the equation, Nintendo sits on a huge pile of cash, I believe its around 10 billion dollars. So even if they somehow managed to screw their handhelds too, it would take years and years of consecutive failed products like the Wii U before they could go bankrupt.
