I think actually only one year of their losses was attributed to 3DS hardware loss. The other years they lost money were primarily becasue of a combination of a strong yen + sales of 3DS/Wii U that weren't strong enough to offset those losses.
They need at least 50-60 million install base between their HH/console, I think that's what they are aiming for at minimum with their next unified platform.
The question really I think is how much more damage are phones/tablets going to do to Nintendo's HH market? Does it level off at some point or does it continue to spread like a cancer? I don't think we can say for sure either way right now, except it doesn't look great right now.

Yes from August 2011 to August 2012 3DS was sold at a loss, then from Nov 2012 to possibly currently Wii U has been sold at a loss. Had these devices never been sold at a loss then their financial situation would have looked much better these last few years.

They still probably would've lost money though because of the strong yen.
