Iwata reaffirms Nintendo's future, will not abandon hardware creation
1 Coming from Satoru Iwata...
I am here to tell you about our future, and to begin with, I would like to mention what Nintendo will not change.
Since the revision to our full-year financial forecast, there have been various reports and comments about us. However, we do not hold a pessimistic view of the future of dedicated video game platforms.
We therefore believe that dedicated video game platforms which integrate hardware and software will remain our core business. Naturally, we are moving ahead with research and development efforts for future hardware as we have done before and we are not planning to give up our own hardware systems and shift our axis toward other platforms.
We believe we can capitalize the most on our strength in platforms which integrate hardware and software. It is clear that, since we have developed products which integrate hardware and software, we were able to offer such devices as dual-screen Nintendo DS with one touch screen, and Wii Remote and Wii Balance Board for Wii.

Because Sony has several other branches outside of their gaming department that do ok, that and the fact everyone seems to shit on Nintendo for anything and everything all day everyday.
