YOU think it's doom and gloom. I don't. You're just trying to tie the "nintendo is doomed" rhetoric to people who want nintendo to go third party to give it a irrationally negative vibe to other nintendo people.  

No, I am just telling you what the widely accepted definition of doom is.

There are Microsoft doom posts too, but they don't mean Microsoft as a company will die or that Microsoft will do nothing in gaming anymore. What Microsoft doom posts refer to is that Microsoft will stop to produce dedicated gaming hardware, the Xbox. Same thing for Sony. The Vita was declared doomed a lot before everyone stopped caring.

In other words, doom posts describe a dramatic change for a company, often portrayed as imminent or inevitable.

Just like how some silly butts think there's such a thing as 2nd party? There's several ways to look at what doom means. Anyway, onion saw the distiction between "nintendo is doomed" rhetoric and "pro nintendo goes 3rd party" people. It's not one in the same.
