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.
You're kidding yourself. The Wii was a fad. Nintendo oversaturated the market. There's no one left to sell to. And, I will predict that next year will offer similar financial results for Nintendo. They may be able to grow income from new titles, but not sales of Wii hardware. That horse has already left the barn.
