While I don't see how Nintendo's 'death' is even on the table, I agree that Nintendo's hardware endevours seem to be failing. I expected them to have to fold in the hardware department sooner or later and I'm actually surprised that they're still in it. I'm certain their handheld devices will eventually lose to the smartphone/tablet, and the game console market for 'casual' gamers where their hardware resides is losing to the aforementioned aswell. So yes, I believe that just like Sega (which have nowhere near the same franchise power as Nintendo), Nintendo will become a developer for Android/Iphone and PS5/XTwo or whatever the current high-end gen console is when Nintendo finally get out of the hardware business (if the high-end console market still exists then). On the other hand, it's games, not hardware, which is what Nintendo is best at. They may be old hat, Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pokemon etc, but it's those game franchies which have sold and is still selling Nintendo hardware and not the other way around. Zelda on Android, Mario on Iphone/IPad, i'm sure they will sell massively, printing money even.
