Why can't Nintendo die? Are they some sort of immortal company or what? Any company can die. Doesn't matter if they were around for a thousand years.

Money in the bank means nothing if customers aren't buying your products. Money in the bank don't raise your stock. As some American business person whose name I can't recall once said "sometimes in business it's better to keep the money, die and reborn than waste it trying to live"

However I don't see Nintendo dying anytime soon. As things stand they need a complete rethink of their situation because the plan they had in mind don't seem to be working very well.

Success and failure is all about decisions and Nintendo have some tough ones to make.

The Nintendo of the future may not manufacture hardware but Mario, Zelda, pokemon and their other games can live on any system so Nintendo will live on... at least as long as the public don't get fed up with Mario and Zelda in 20 years or so years.

This thread should be named "the day Nintendo gets out of the console business", because it will be down right stupid of them to just let your company die rather than continue and make money(which they will)by making software for other rival consoles.....Im pretty sure their will be no difference in playing Mario on a ps4 or Xbox one rather than Wii u!

That has been said of the DS, Wii and 3DS.  There are people fighting for Sony. Doom articles before the Wii U release, and just before the other consoles launch.  Nintendo just keep moving along turning a eye.  

Having money doesn't mean they are willing to waste it.

I don't see Ninny just disappearing.... All their franchises would be sold or they would keep making software... I don't really see a huge impact on the industry. When SEGA dropped out Microsoft took its spot.

It's that bad but you never hear of it.  You will hear more and more Nintendo doom articles as if the big N was selling buildings.

Are you aware the 3DS/2DS sales will reach 50 millions units in a few months? Nintendo won't leave this market anytime soon.

I'll keep my games and replay them. Maybe will get a PC for games like Amnesia or RE.
Sony/Microsoft games don't appeal to me.

If they phase out of console business, I hope they join MS/Xbox to fight the dark side of Nippon.

the day nintendo dies is the day gaming dies. nintendo wont ever die as long as there is gaming. they can only qiut the console and handheld bussines.
