Nintendo is doomed, a personal story.

They do! although I don't care if they are not number 1. They could be successful without being the best seller! 

I'm excited cause it looks like the nx is going to be the most powerful handheld ever!

They can be successful without selling more than PlayStation, but I am not of the opinion that Nintendo should settle for #2 when they have the IPs, talent, funds and worldwide recognition to be #1. Nintendo themselves should have the same aspirations.

Maybe it's because I'm on VGC, a forum where Nintendo fans are heavily represented, but I don't see that many users dooming Nintendo. There are a few, but there are also a few Nintendo fans that are equally bad in the other direction. Honestly, the occassions where Nintendo doom posts are most prevalent are when we get positive Nintendo news, and then we get some Nintendo fans saying "Nintendo: doomed since 1889" or something like that.

Like I said, there are a few, but not many. Or maybe I'm just subconciously ignoring them because I know Nintendo aren't doomed, so I don't worry.

I've seen a similar sentiment being expressed in the recent past, but back then it looked like a poster would have to explicitly say the words "Nintendo is doomed" while all possible variations and implications of it did not qualify as doom posts. I think you aren't doing the same here.

You are probably ignoring them, because the recent news of Pokémon Go success spawned plenty of threads and posts that said that Nintendo should go third party. That is, of course, a variation of "Nintendo is doomed". The sheer number of those posts made them hard to be overlooked, but if you always chuckle at them or simply ignore them for being nonsensical, then they aren't as much of an issue.

Frogs are creatures of habit.
