Many people in this thread fail to realize - Nintendo is a business. They're in it to make money. What could cause Nintendo to exit the console business? Simple. The investment in consoles becomes no longer justifiable. If the board of directors feel that Nintendo is better off investing their money in other endeavors in order to make greater profits, that's what they'll do.
It's not a matter of making money. It's a matter of making enough money for the board of directors to remain confident that producing consoles is the most profitable direction for Nintendo to take.
