Of course it hqs to succeed, but I think it will fail, and as you say, will mark Nintendo's exit from the console scene.
But I don't think that would be bad for gaming in general. It would be bad for a small minority of gamers, and the past years have shown that they are not that important for the gaming world. EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Sony and Microsoft are all doing very well without those gamers, and would continue doing well.
If Nintendo were to go under tomorrow, most people wouldn't even notice or care.

People would notice because nintendo wouldnt have a reason making that much software anymore. Just look at sega and their IPs.

Some people would notice, but most would not. Do you think that many of 170 million X360/PS3 users ever cared about Sega games. Some did, but most couldn't care less.

Same thing now. Nintendo fans would notice, but most people would not be affected by Nintendo's demise at all, and the industry would barely be affected. 

In a gaming world where one multiplat AAA console game in 18 months outsells the entire WiiU library of 30 months, and by a comfortable margin, it is obvious that Nintendo is just a minor league player in the industry.
