The spelling mistakes in the thread title make it impossible for me to jump into that much text that is written with the same level of quality.

But Nintendo has huge cash reserves so the idea is wrong even without reading it.


I'm not agreeing with him, but cash reserves aren't everything. BlackBerry has huge cash reserves and they are pretty much fighting for their lives because they have only one product and it isn't selling like it should.


Very true, there is a difference though. They didn't change tactics or attempt to expand to new markets and the little that they did do was too late. They did the same thing Sony has done. They didn't bring anything new to the market and they allowed some of their largets markets (the business sectors like business depot) to go to apple. They should have done anything possible even to the point of undercutting apple by mass to retain that market, but they didn't. Sony hasn't changed anything it's doing, it isn't trying to expand to new markets or developments and that is the same as BB. Where Nintendo differs is that they are trying to expand to new markets and developments. What BB and Nintendo do have in common is that neither have any debt. BB was way over optimistic of the success of BB10 and their development of QNX into some vehicles is too late for viability. The CEO's of BB sat on their asses and did nothing while they watched their ship they build sink, then when it was all but entirely sunk they finally stepped down and got someone to try to do the near impossible. Thorston has done a reasonable job with it, but it was probably too late and didn't have the foresight to look into different outlets. 



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.
