First of all Nintendo has always made a profit on gaming. The N64 and Gamecube made them money, and even during those "dark days" they had the Gameboy and GBA to fill their profits. The American charts don't go that far back anymore, but Nintendo almost continuously had more than one third of all gaming devices sold, even in the years of the Playstation's greatest dominance.
Secondly, Nintendo is all about gaming while Sony is a huge and varied corporation. No matter how badly their games would do, Nintendo will never leave gaming. Where else would they go? Sony on the other hand is run by rich old guys in suits who've never played a game in their life, and there are definitely many amongst them who view the gaming division as a liability that keeps hurting their income. If things don't start looking better within a year, there is a serious chance they'll pull the plug on the Playstation 3, or even the Playstation brand as a whole.
I keep typing the same thing in every second thread I see. I should start my own for this stuff. =P
