The only thing nintendo is making is the GBA, and now the DS. I saw some of the games they got for the PSP and I was really surprised, I'm talking about a portable system that can play games with graphics almost as good as the PS2.
Nintendo are about to officially announce their next major console, apparently it will have something that none of the others have, something special we don't know about. Haven't you heard about this? Where did you get "not making consoles anymore" from?

And sure, the PS1 was popular, but what did it really do that well apart from a great marketing scheme? If you look at the console itself it wasn't THAT great or innovative. The PSP is the same. I'm not denying that it will do well, because I know that Sony will market it beyond belief, and we all know that people are generally suckers for what's shoved in their faces. Nintendo seem to suck at marketing for some reason, but I still believe that the actual DS is potentially superior to the PSP if you take them both and put them side by side. Each will have their fanbase, but to say that the DS will "fail miserably" is rubbish.
