Nintendo actually has a very sizable war chest. I don't think they are struggling for survival at all.

Although Nintendo doom and gloom has been a popular theme for many years I'm a little surprised to see it here.

I had the same thought as you and I did a quick search, the results of which are behind my company's firewall.

I think Nintendo can lose up to $250 million a year until the year 2052... so not too sure if they are struggling for survival like the title claims.

This is my thought as well. Don't think of Nintendo as a technology company, think of them as an Intellectual Property company. With Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Pokemon, Metroid, etc, as their commodities. These will be money makers for decades, regardless of where the platforms go.
