Not to mention the Gamegear, mega CD and a host of failed games they spent ridiculous ammounts on.
Whilst Nintendo have made money with everything they've made and started 2 crazes.

It was the online service for Dreamcast that used up all of Sega's assets. That and the failure of the Saturn.

You're not wrong. Not in the slightest.
GamesTM tells you all.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Nintendo still the most profitable company out of Microsoft Game Studios and Sony Computer Entertainment and themselves?

It won't break Nintendo. Not yet. One gaming flop would not do that. Especially as they're likely to still have the DS bringing in revenue. They'd just have to pull out and release another one at a later date.
Nintendo = very rich
SEGA = very poor.

Nintendo have their own special fund for this called Fund Q.
What Mav says below... totally agree.

Yep, plus Nintendo can take advantage of the new companies created as a result of the new grants governments are expected to be giving new game developers in the near future.
Like they do with the film industry (which now makes less than the games industry).

I do like this idea of Nintendo backing bright young developers.
Often the new and exciting ideas come from the independent upstarts, yet without the proper financial support in an industry that craves sequels they can really suffer.
Working with potentially great companies certainly sounds to me like a more positive and forward thinking move than buying out existing ones a la Microsoft.
