Pachter: If the NX flops, Nintendo will still have 9.5 Billion dollars in the bank (They have 10 last time Pachter checked)

Yea, the Wii U did a number on them.  If the NX is a repeat of the Wii U, or even just slightly more successful, Nintendo will be done with HW.  My guess is they will try to go mobile before they go 3rd party on the PS or XB, but we'll see.

I just checked and it was US$15.4B back in 2010. So, that's a US$6.8B drop in 6 years. That's with the 3DS's success. The NX needs to make a big impact if they want to combine handheld and console sales.

You might want to check again, For Fiscal Year Ended 2010, it was $886,995 Million Yen Cash + 365,326 Million Yen for Short Term Investment (1,251,000 Million Yen) and now it is For Fiscal Year Ended 2016 $909,340 Million Yen for Cash and Short Term Investment. 

(The reason my numbers were off, is they changed how it was presented, which to be fair is just presentation.
