While that has some validity, I would just like to point out that when Nintendo had Pokemon and Smash do really well and help bring them into profits for that quarter (iirc), there was an article put out about how Nintendo's success wtih those titles was killing them. So yeah, there are a number of publications out there that have no intention of ever admitting Nintendo is looking up :P
