they are struggling.

Ever since Mario Kart 8 came out, they have been selling consoles like crazy. And they are having a very hard time keeping shelves stocked with Amiibos and the gamecube controller adapter may as well be the Holy Grail with how hard it is to buy one.

The only thing Nintendo is struggling with is keeping stock of merchandise of which nearly every single bit of it is SELLING OUT before the game even releases world wide.

Nintendo has loyalists like myself because they've been around so long and have shown they know how to put out good games consistently. Even their shitty games (cough Skyward Sword cough) are all time greats. What Microsoft and Sony have going for them is their massive marketing capabilities and budgets. Nintendo is not nearly in the same universe as those two. So who really cares? In the end, you're the one who decided to do "Let's Play" on YouTube, you're the one who edits and does the videos, and you're ultimately the one in control of the account and everything that goes on around it.

And you know what? You don't even OWN your own console. That console is a physical license that Nintendo has the rights to nuke (under the new EULA) at any time they feel like should you violate the agreement.


On the other hand, I'll back up Henry Jones Jr's point. Nintendo could take a 25 million dollar deficit every year until 2052 before they actually went into a deficit/bankrupt. It's a very common misconception that Nintendo is broke.
