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

This isn't a healthy way of thinking. While they might have plenty in the bank, investors will be scared that the company in general is still losing money and sell off stock. This alone can be enough to put Nintendo in real trouble. They have to maintain investor confidence.
