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.

Their profit is as small as it was before they ever released the NES, and their third party support and marketshare is the lowest it's ever been and dropping. 

And holy shit at saying marketshare and mindshare are irrelevant. Ever heard of Blackberry? You can't just rapidly decrease in sales and marketshare every year and just keep things as they are and act like all is fine. If NX fails, they're going third party and will rely more heavily on mobile, IP usage, amiibos, etc. (which they already are at the moment, which makes up for the lackluster console sales)
