Yep. If the nx fails, it might be the end of nintendo's home console business.

People have been saying this for 15 years, it's not going to happen.

 

@OP

So am I doing my part when I buy the system and don't buy any games for it? That's what I did with Wii U.

Of their past 4 consoles, 3 have performed poorly. That's really bad news. If they have a fourth failure, no one will want to back nintendo consoles. 

They had? Both the N64 and GC were more profitable than their competition in HW and HW+SW. For a firm that is all that matters.

Failures in the public's eye. The GameCube was 100% pure profit machine for Nintendo.

That's not true, it was sold at a slight loss at launch and again when it dropped to $99. We have no idea how profitable it was, Gameboy Advance was probably the leading factor in their annual profits during that time.
