After releasing the Wii U, Nintendo was in big financial trouble. They would need something truly special to help revitalize the company, and hopefully Nintendo Switch would be that answer.

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.
How can someone be this misinformed in their own field of expertise? The comment by Raider Nation makes me not want to consume this content.
