If anyone thinks for a second that Nintendo is doing poorly or losing money needs a new brain. Nintendo makes money because of the way they handle it, they're still a more profitable company than Sony and Microsoft's console divisions (not the company whole), which pisses them off to no end.
A. Nintendo told the truth and are debating about how the company is handling it's console distribution - Probably leading to a change in management ideals on future development.
B. Nintendo lied so they can hold on to private funding without paying back its quota so Nintendo can re-use money for new console development.
Either way, they're making a new console and are giving a good amount of thought to how it will be handled. I'm wondering if Nintendo is going to micro-manage their in-house development. It wouldn't be hard for them, all you do is take your in-house development, give them a hierarchy (President, Vice President, Coffee Manager, etc), they're own label and detatch them from Nintendo. Then Nintendo does nothing but console development while this new third party works closely with them without taking eachother's money. It's American business, Japanese Business states that all things important to a company should be integrated in to the company... I dont agree with that. Networking is always a floaty business in reality, but a large company cant stand that anyways.
