Nintendo was founded in Kyoto, Japan in 1889 as a manufacturer of hanafuda playing cards. The company went through several small niche businesses before becoming a video game company.
And then Nintendo realized they hadn't really made a worthwhile franchise in an era. Maybe if they stopped trying to ride the coat tails of those that came before them at the company and made genuinely good and unique game, or hell, GAMES AT ALL (I'm looking at you 3DS!), they wouldn't be in this mess. They are passing the Capcom level of stupid pretty quickly. Lets hope that Nintendo manages to stabilize (relatively speaking) like Capcom did.
Well seriously, they could only go for so long before they dropped. Yeah, they have the casual gamer, but that only last so long. The casual gamer is good for an occasional boost, but not in the long run. Nintendo needs to get back to making solid, good games, not just shovel ware. The Wii was a joke, that has quickly faded away for the most part. It was a gimmick, just like the 3DS. Do they make good stuff? Sure, but they were never going to survive by continuing to put out stuff like that.
