Not true, look at the annual shipments, net sales & operating income charts in the OP, from FY1990-FY2005 all 3 of those were pretty stable with just a few low years, thats nearly 15 years of stable shipments, sales & income.

After that they had an era of huge growth (DS/Wii era) followed by a huge decline to lower than their stable period.

So you are completely wrong when you say that Nintendo has been in constant decline since the NES.

3DS is at record low handheld numbers, Wii U is record low console numbers, and they have burned bridges with nearly every third party out there. Honestly if Wii never took off, Nintendo would probably already be third party. A publicly traded company can not just keep pushing out failures gen after gen with rapidly decreasing numbers each gen as their core fanbase shrinks.

Absolutely none of that is relevant to what you or I previously said.

 

You: Nintendo has been in constant decline since the NES.

Me: From FY1990-2005, Nintendo had relatively stable hardware shipments, net sales & operating income.

Do you understand my last post now? I was correcting a false statement that you made.
