I personally will buy a Nintendo console even if the only games on it are Nintendo games. Why? Because I personally value Nintendo games so much that I will pay $300 + cost of games to play them.

As for whether or not Nintendo is a success, that is only measured by Nintendo, and if one learns basic economics one learns that firms are profit-maximizing entities, because their entire benefits are measured in profits, and therefore Nintendo is successful if it maximizes profits. Since Nintendo is maximizing profits to the best of their ability, considering their predisposed environments, either outside influenced and self-induced, I consider them successful. If Nintendo were to have losses, as they were until months ago, then they are unsuccessful.
