or you know, they could take a page out of MS book and just buy a company that specializes in streaming. I mean they have years to prepare for it.

In theory, yes. But, I think the cloud gaming business, which is what almost the entire video game industry will be within a decade or so, will be dominated by tech megacorps.  Nintendo doesn't have the scale to compete with those companies.  So, either Nintendo is going to go on a merger and acquisition spree, or they are likely to be acquired at some point.  

They are competing with Sony, MS, Apple, Google etc now. They are not as small and fragile as you might think they are.
