So, Nintendo Is The Only Gaming Company that Can Survive With No Third Party Support? If Not Who Else? (If each Company Had Their Own HW i mean)

Hard to say for sure, but you could look at it this way...

- Should 3DS by itself be profitable?  Seems likely.
- Has Nintendo overall been *profitable since Wii U released?  No.

Therefore IMO Wii U has likely not made a profit to date, it's eaten 3DS's profit.

* Profitable as in Operating Profit, i.e. profit from video game operations not from investment income, exchange rates, etc.

Yeah, that's the impression I've gotten as well.
