It's not game over for Nintendo, not yet, and not for the reasons in that article. But I do hope they get their comeuppance soon, as they're presently contributing to the very same industry stagnation they sought to end in the 80s. They've sold out, and I want them to burn for it.

If its game over for nintendo its gameover for the whole industry. Everyone had a horrable year compared to past years. Its called the end of infanate growth. But to say a loss in profit means end is stupid... But don't expect a return of the good old days. The ecconomy just wont support it anymore in a postpeak world.

As good as the Wii sold in its early years, it now sells just as bad... that's how I look at it. And it's not just the outdated graphics (which allowed it to get said good sales in the beginning)... there just aren't "the" big games available on Wii. Some are.

Is it over for Nintendo? Surely not, if Sony is also still alive (after doom and gloom on PS3 release year). Or Microsoft after the original Xbox.

Well, it's the end of the line for Wii anyway as the Wii U launches this year which will fix many of the wrongs the Wii had. And in the mean time they have the 3DS which just finished breaking some sales records. Hardly seems like major issue at all. And even the Wii itself is still selling better than Vita and PSP so it's not like it's even the worst selling console on the market.

No question... don't really care for 3DS sales. My point was... "they" always call doom and gloom, no matter how small the problem is.
