If you really believe that, then you obviously aren't really aware of the actual financial status of each company right now.

To be honest their both in trouble for the most part. The one who's in the least trouble is microsoft despite the fact that the xbox brand hasn't made them money yet. Nintendo's long term future is bleak because they serverely damaged their handheld brand. Sony's short term future looks bad because they have to restructure the company and add to the fact that they have being hit with massive losses in the past. From this point onwards Sony Electronics is no more and instead will be known as Sony Insurance due to the fact that it's their biggest money maker alongside with the entertainment division. 

Just because Nintendo has alot of money in their reserves doesn't mean that they won't lose it. What you keep in the race matters more and this time Nintendo will be dropping alot of money in due time. 

You do know that Nintendo has been around for over 100 years right? According to Google, Nintendo was founded in 1889 and Sony was founded in 1986 and Microsoft in 1975... That means that Nintendo had to go through over 100 years of being doomed yet they aren't doomed yet... If anything, between the three companies, Nintendo is probably the most resilient company ever... Not to say or undermine that Sony and MS aren't the same, but that experience obviously counts for something...

@Bold Pretty sure Sony was founded in 1946 according to wikipedia ...

Since when was nintendo doomed for 100 years ? They were only doomed by the market when they released the N64. Experience counts for something alright but I can't see how their going to get anymore profits when their most profitable part of the business has dried up ... If Nintendo resorts to making another gamecube sometime in the short term while pulling off another 3DS (Which was essentially a PS3 style esque move.) in their handheld market then they really shouldn't be bothering in the gaming market. 

Sorry, Typo*

And yes, they have been doomed for over 100 years by many people... One of the examples where Nintendo was doomed was their large investments into love hotels in Japan where it clearly didn't succeed and there are other examples, I am sure... Heck, I can't even imagine what it must have been like to go from love hotels to gaming... They are just sooo different but thats one of the ways they adapted... I know they can't seem to adapt worth shit these days but again... 100+ years of doomed
