It probably won't be quite as bad as on Wii; I'm sure multiplatform support will benefit at least somewhat from having a modern GPU architecture, but I suspect the lifetime percentage of multiplats received will still end up closer to that of Wii than even GC.
Nintendo probably could have future-proofed it quite a bit more than they did at a fairly low additional cost, had they not been so set on keeping the size and power draw of the actual console as low as possible. Sigh.
I'm still trying to figure out exactly how they are losing money on the system. The only thing I can think of is the exchange rate.
But if worst comes to worse and they find themselves in another 3DS scenario, I wonder what they'll end up doing
They are already in loss territory so Nintendo as a company can't handle the type of losses that MS and Sony used to prop up the PS3/360 for the first half of this generation. I imagine they would just ride it out.
