Saying that Nintendo are "fine" is just denial. They are not yet in real trouble, but the current trend is worrying. The Wii-U is just not selling and the 3DS looks set to sell way less than the DS (though it is selling well). The 2DS has certainly not been well received initially, but it is too early to tell. They is an argument that Nintendo are more at risk from iOS and Android than MS or Sony as they cater more to the causal gamer who uses those devices.
Nintendo definitely need to turn this cycle around, or they will find themselves in trouble down the track. How? is the question. What they don't want to do it try and be a 3rd MS or Sony, losing what makes Nintendo unique, that would be suicide. But they do need to find a way to get the Wii-U selling more and more/better games it likely the first step.
