Sony was unable to pay dividends in FY 2014 for the first time in 50 years and it wasn't game over for Kazuo Hirai.  

Besides, the majority of Nintendo shares are held by large banks who are not as fickle as the individual investors who are looking short term.  Nintendo has been a publicly listed company since 1962, and that's more than a decade before Microsoft existed.  Nintendo was also founded over a 126 years ago in 1889 as a card manufacturing company and has had to reinvent themselves many times over the years but has always found success in entertainment and games.  They also just recently moved into a new building and have merged their hardware and software divisions for better efficiency and productivity.  Nintendo knows there is a lot of strength in their IPs and creativity and and won't give up on those things anytime soon.  Nintendo wants profits too and hardware is still part of that equation.

New Nintendo Divisions Below:

Establishment of the Entertainment Planning & Development Division

We will integrate personnel who are involved in the development of software for Nintendo platforms and smart devices in addition to work associated with effective utilization of character IP, and in order to create a structure that operates efficiently and rapidly, the Entertainment Analysis & Development Division and the Software Planning & Development Division will be consolidated into the newly established Entertainment Planning & Development Division.

Establishment of the Platform Technology Development Division

We will integrate personnel responsible for the technology development essential for Nintendo’s hardware formation such as hardware, OS, development environment and network, and in order to create a structure in which we can more broadly and efficiently conduct technology development necessary for new products and services, the Integrated Research & Development Division and the System Development Division will be consolidated into the newly established Platform Technology Development Division.

Establishment of the Business Development Division

We will newly establish the Business Development Division, a division with the aim of refining the business model for the dedicated video game system business, and creating and making profitable the smart device business and the new business that utilizes character IP.

I don't really know what this has to to with my post. Are you saying that investors would be willing to watch Nintendo to make losses for years?

When it's the banks and long-term investment in question, dividends have a much bigger role than short-term investment, where stock price ups and downs are everything. Short term it doesn't matter how much the company makes losses, as long as market expects a better future.
