Chuck, Nintendo can't go broke.<br><br>They're far smarter than your average company. For instance, Mr.Yamauchi was going to scrap the GameCube if it didn't do well at E3. He knows the US will be his largest market, and wants to make sure he's absolutely going to move product. <br><br>Their only failure, the Virtualboy was blamed soley on it's creator, Mr.Gumpei. The father of the Gameboy, he was a "revolutionary" on the hardware front, and was rumored to be creating his own console/handheld (one or the other). Sadly, after the failure, he was given a window seat in the NCL offices (this is a total disgrace position, as it removes you as an active participant)). He was later struck down by a car on the freeway, and in Japan's 90+ percentile of solved crimes, this one is still unsolved. I heard Konami had Yakuza ties, so Nintendo must be OG since they go back over 100 years during the time of the Samurai.<br><br>So to sum it all up, if they have another bad apple, the creator will soon see his life flash before his eyes at an early age. Quite a motivator if you ask me.<br><br>Oh, and last I remember from some years back, the Big N had roughly 3 Trillion in liquid assets.<br>
