How the Nintendo Switch saved Nintendo

One thing you didn’t mention in your video was despite the Wii U’s failure, Nintendo had a “war chest” of 10.5 BILLION in actual, liquid cash in the bank. They had enough cash to run a deficit of 257 million dollars for 38 straight years before it would run out. And that’s just cash. That’s not even factoring in the worth of their total assets. Thats why I would laugh anytime people suggested that Nintendo might go the way of Sega and become a 3rd party publisher. Despite the failure of the Wii U, Nintendo’s financial situation compared to Sega’s was light-years apart.
