You know, 'never say never,' but that video brought up some good points that I think a lot of us can get behind:

• Fun Mission
• Accessibility
• Lateral Thinking Innovation
• Withered Technology
• Quality Assurance
• Brand Strength

What's your take?

Everything has a start and finish. Nothing lasts forever, literally... Even the star that provides the light and heat that enables life on this planet will eventually expand, become a red giant and boil our atmosphere away, resulting in a dead world.

The question is... When will Nintendo (Or any other company for that matter!), die? It's definitely not any time soon, that's for sure.

Lehman Brothers for example existed for a whopping 158~ years had 25,000 employees, $691 billion dollars in assets... And went bust.

Idk, they failed pretty hard with the Wii U (at least commercially). That was a pretty low point for them that they managed to dig themselves out of but it shows that even the strongest companies are mortal. I'd say Nintendo has one of the highest 'life expectancies' in the industry given their track record and culture but all it can take is one bad leader (or the departure of good ones) to send a company into a downward spiral. 

Closely linked to also why they will always be doomed at the same time

Perhaps like our species, Nintendo will leave their home planet before it dies off and populate other worlds.

Actual Nintendo's Galaxy !!

Withered techology means a company can offer a lower/same price for a better experience..

Motion control/accessibility = Wii/DS/Apple/Kinect/Eyetoy
Portability = GB-NS2/smartphones
Local multi = Nintendo/PS1
Online multi = PC/360
Modability = PC

We all know the rules.

WiiU was a bigger self inflicted abomination than Gamecube.

Aging and change in cultural habits are the biggest factor for Nintendo to fail in future

Those are hard to predict, but there are evidences. Average age of user base, for instance. Gaming is a pretty young hobby compared to something like Sports or Cinema, so we as society are yet to see how the age of the first generation of gamers will handle their hobbies once they approach 60-80 years old

Soon it will come a time where owning a manufactures console is pointless.

I think world going digital will be the reason they stop gaming not their age, or just cause them to have a PC with steam on it and xbox app and whatever other digital app Nintendo / Sony do.
