People seem to fail to understand that the amount of money they have in the bank, or breaking even, or even maintaining a small profit is completely irrelevant. Nintendo has shareholders and their executive branch of Nintendo is beholden to those people to maximize the profitability of that company. |
I agree, people seem to just say "But if they still make a profit they'll keep making hardware!". But in reality it doesn't work like that. If there is a MORE profitable avenue for them to go down, they may take it. It's about achieving the most success, not enough success to keep doing what you're doing.
