Nintendo is gonna beat their sales goals easily

It's beating PS4 launch period numbers in the slow summer while PS4 had a holiday launch, with a short supply. 

 

Nintendo is a monster that's brand value, market value, stock is worth more then the entire Sony company, not just Sony computer/PS brand.

Nintendo has no debt like Sony, 13 billion in cash and IP that's worth billions and they are growing.

 

The amiibos, pokemon company, smart phone games and theme parks only spell a monster rising again. 

 

Nintendo was never doomed.

Disagree, to a certain extent.

 

If Nintendo didn't have the bounce back brought about by Pokemon Go and Switch performances, they would have had to start tapping into their funds. For a smaller company compared to their competitors, this would have left them in dangerous waters. Another massive misstep or failure to 'right the ship' would have lead to them exiting the game making business as a console developer and maybe even software. The company as whole probably would have still been able to survive with the right multi media moves so they wouldn't have to sell 'ALL' their IP but to think there was no danger of failure is foolish.

Although to put it one way, Nintendo was like a character in a show that nearly dies and looks dead, but is shown to have survived either later in the episode or in a future one.
