I thought you are supposed to provide meaningful analysis to back up your claims, no? I agree with you -- Nintendo has never been in real trouble -- but this is a completely needless topic to raise, almost feels like a flame war waiting to happen. Especially when you compared Nintendo to Sony.
Sony has $16.82 billion (US dollars) in net cash, and over 161 billion USD in total assets. Nintendo does not even have 10% of that, standing currently at 11.87 billion USD of total assets. If this is meant to be a competition about which company has the healthiest assets, you are deluding yourself if you attempt to compare Nintendo to Sony and its numerous subsidiaries in a large variety of industries.
Likewise, Nintendo's revenues have been steadily decreasing since at least 2013 (635.42 billion in 2013 versus 489.10 billion in 2017), and despite posting a profit finally this year, they are still a very long way from being where they used to be. If Switch proves unable to bring in sales that are comparable to 3DS and Wii U combined, Nintendo will in fact be generating even less revenue than before.
Of course Nintendo is not doomed. It has never been. They are the creators of beloved games, and true masterpieces. In many ways, Nintendo is the pioneer and the archetype of the videogames industry.
But if your point is that Nintendo is not doomed, and that this is somehow a victory over Sony, then this is a really ridiculous stance to take. Comparing stock values is a red herring, and while you are technically correct that Nintendo does not possess any debt, they do have other liabilities amounting to over 1.6 billion USD -- double the amount from 2016.
