Damn... Nintendo basically has almost $20 billion dollars just sitting around doing nothing. Nintendo's future is secure. As long as Nintendo is profitable whether they failed or not in the video game business, they aren't going anywhere. They didn't even spend any of that and don't need to either and is outselling the competition as well.

Imagine if Nintendo used that $20 billion to buy talent or for R&D for new ways to play games?

 

I just thought I would mention that Nintendo has been increasing their R&D budget by leaps and bounds ever since 2003. The DS and Wii have been the fruits of that R&D, and they keep on spending 5-8 billion yen more every year.
