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.

Clearly it won't just be YoY declines every year due to the way console cycles work, but they have been hurting for quite a while, even with N64 and GCN, and if Wii hadn't been the massive success it was, it would be a very, very different situation for Nintendo. Nintendo has been relying on mobile, toy dolls, theme parks, restaurants, TV shows, etc. to keep profit up because at this point because their console sales are in the gutter, and their handheld sales are down a huge amount from previous gen (and handheld gaming in general is dying rapidly). Also important is mindshare and marketshare and Nintendo continues to shrink there as well. 

Dude, just look at the charts, the info is right there.

Nintendo shipped roughly 20 million units of hardware, net sales of ¥500 billion & operating income of ¥100 billion give or take for nearly 15 consecutive years, that means they were not in constant decline since NES.

You keep rambling on about things that are irrelevant.
