Thanks to the massive success of the Wii and DS game consoles, Nintendo was able to turn the tide and once again become the number one game company in the world. As with any honeymoon, however, it must come to an end at some point. Nintendo reported its financial results for the first half of 2009 yesterday, and it didn't look good.

No, i think you both are missing the point. The main reason why nintendo is seeing profit losses is mainly because they didn't roll as many blockbuster games as last year, for both their platforms. Keep in mind that nintendo may have been behind sony in the past, but overall, the DS _is_ the most succesful platform this generation, the one everyone has and the one that solds the most games (nintendogs, new super mario bros, mario kart DS, etc still sell several orders more than the best selling 360 or PS3 titles), same with dragon quest series in Japan, though for some reason most analysts completely ignore it. In any case, i personally find strange that after the large amount of first party titles nintendo released until mid-2008, they've been pretty quiet since.. and are only announcing sequels (to zelda DS, new super mario bros, on wii, another zelda on wii, another galaxy, etc), so my guess is that they are already developing for next-gen.
