20 years or generations?  Failed products or failed financials?

And you fail to grasp what I'm saying and instead put what you want me to say. 

Miss read the year. But okay that would make 4 generations... Do you think having 5 failed generations would make failed financials? Or do you expect nintendo to survive 20 years by making bigger and bigger bloppers?

Sony survived 10 years of financial problems, but it wasn't exactly all their products failing in the market, was much more failure on administrating costs.

Or do financial problems come on a vaccum? Or I should say you want to put things only in a light that make you satisfied?

Why are you presumming something I never said based on your error?  I really shouln't even need to answer your first question because you know good and well the answer. 

Do you consider the Wii U and 3DS failed products?  If so, then how the hell are they currently making a profit?
That said, you can also have successful products and still take major losses?  PS3 was successful and their gaming division was often taking large losses. 

No, financials don't exist in a vacuum but they aren't polarized as success = profit and failure = losses either.

I know the answer. Both are failures when one will sell less than 50% the predecessor and the other only 15%. They are making profits not only because of amiibos but because the R&D were already paid during Wii and DS era. And it isn't like they are making large profits, and even more they are profiting on their SW. But if they keep failing on HW and their SW having increased cost because of generational leaps but lower market to sell you can see then losing a lot of money. If you preffer to ignore all of that no problem, doesn't matter mine or your opinion the reality will stay the same.
