 Um really?

The only thing I know is that Nintendo never lost any money on their consoles.

So, would it be correct to say Nintendo practically had a monopoly with the NES?

 I'm not sure this is correct.

Nintendo never posted a financial quarter loss. They might still have lost money on the Gamecube, as they made lots on the GBA.

Oyvoyvoyv it still didn't nearly kill off Nintendo as they never made a loss. No matter which console made the money.

Nintendo's only change of getting "killed off" was if they decided to go handheld only, as their consoles were losing money (if they had went HD this time for instance, maybe everyone would have lost money).

They were in no risk of having to shut down.

My understanding is that Nintendo was always making gobs of money even during the N64. They decided to go handheld when they found out "Hey, we can be making even more money....yay!"
