People are underestimating how quickly a company can lose money in bad times. Before the 3DS managed to start building success they lost $330 million in 3 months. If, hypothetically, both Nintendo's next handheld and home console were to fail like the WiiU is (and how the 3DS used to be), then they could potentially lose an awful lot more than $250 million a year.
Nintendo are going to be fine, they always find a way. But that fact is still pretty dumb :P
Edit: I should point out my post is about how silly this "fact" would be even if the world was as black and white as it seems to think. In reality there are multiple other factors that can come into play (stock, market cap etc).
