They've never been in danger of going bankrupt or anything, but some systems made much much less money than others.  The N64 and the Gamecube both underperformed, many considering the latter to be a commercial failure.

they were posting annual profits averaging about $1 billion in the N64/GC era, financially they were doing far from bad.

Mostly thanks to the handhelds, if I'm not mistaken.
