Figures from two months ago, though Q3 rather than fiscal year, so not as good for comparison:

And this proves that Nintendo, infact, doesn't have enough cash in the bank? Is this how the world actually works?

No, but it shows that trying to predict a company's longevity using their cash reserves (which as those links show can fluctuate wildly from year to year) rather than analyzing their business model makes very little sense.
