Over 100 million Wii consoles,  150 million DS handhelds and 33 million 3DS handhelds says you're wrong.  Mario has star power like Mickey, how did you ever come up with that?

A software company for the 3DS and future handhelds.

Your premise is incorrect.   The fact is, Nintendo is in absolutely no danger of dying.   Besides the fact that they have a market capitalization of over $15 billion, they also have somewhere between $8-$10 billion in cash on hand, not to mention the fact that 3DS sales are actually up year over year, and that's before the new model revision comes to market in October, along with a new Pokemon and Zelda.

Nintendo is at about $4.7 billion in cash and cash equivalents. 

So far for the calendar year the 3DS is down YoY in both sales and shipments.  If VGC numbers are to be believed it has fallen further behind in recent weeks, it was averaging 200k+ a week in August last year.  Monster Hunter and Pokemon will certainly do their parts to turn it around, but Nintendo was forecasting a 29% increase for the fiscal year.  Starting from behind isn't the best way to reach that goal.


3DS is up YoY in NA, as Nintendo stated at E3.  Thanks in large part to Luigi's Mansion and especially Animal Crossing releasing in the west.  The increases will only grow thanks to the introduction of the 2DS and of course Pokemon X/Y next month. 



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

It will never happen 3ds sale are pretty good it just disappointed compared to ds.
Vita fail because it dosn't have any big games any other console would have the same problem if it dosn't have big game it dosn't have anything to do with smartphones.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

God would never let Nintendo die. I firmly believe God is a Nintendo fanboy.



The day that happens will probably be a time where I don't care about video games anymore. 

If it happens earlier well I just keep gaming on my PC and if Nintendo decides to go 3rd party then I'll have to buy the console(s) that Nintendo games appear on.



Nintendo and PC gamer

Oh my god, do people who post these threads even know that Nintendo only posted 1 yearly loss in 26 years? And do they know that their just coming off from a generation where they made record profits. OP: I am sorry, but you'd have to be dumb to think that Nintendo are crashing and dying. Their just not in a good position with the wiiU, but does that mean that they are about to die? Il let you answer this question for yourself.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

I don't think they are dying I am just tired like you of Nintendo doom threads. I just made this one as it saddens me that there are always artciles that bash Nintendo. I really want for them to stop.
