Almost do or die for Nintendo. I think they'd have at most 2 more generations like the Wii U before they tank.
Nintendo is in tip top financial shape
You are acting like they are like Blackberry and teetering on the brim of bankruptcy

When I say tank, I don't necessarily mean financially, but in drawing ANY 3rd party support? But you can't think their cultural relevancy stays intact if we get WiiU for 3 straight generations.
They can't confuse Capcom, who supports the 3DS well, into supporting the switch, or a failing platform. The risk here is that the Switch will confuse consumers (again), Nintendo DOES actually go all in with the Switch - Mobile+Console gaming, but the gamble does not pay off for one reason or another...then Capcom pulls support for everything.
That's kind of what i mean. Financially they'd be fine, but if they lose the little support they have left, I doubt they could support a system alone. The Wii U kind of proved that, and they'd lose the cash cow of mobile gaming.
It's simple: The WiiU, outside of the SNES, probably had the single best lineup of Nintendo gaming. A on of top titles and creativity, and very very Nintendo in design. Yet the console failed. I think, or hope, that Nintendo realized as good as they are, they cannot support a console on their own.

But how long can they keep bleeding money with their failing consoles? Sure, they have bank, but at some point SOMEONE high up is going to decide it's just not worth being red just to have a presence in the console market and decide it's best to go strictly handheld and/or become a publisher.
