As you can see from my graph which was released 22.9.2011, ~10%-point decline in market share while spending over 4B€ every year to platform plus two competitors gaining more and more users day by day. At least I would see risk of margin meltdown that would lead to massive loss and total default.

I don't get this, what am I looking at in that link? Is there some data about profits?

You can lose market share but increase profits very easily if the market itself is increasing (which it is). If anything the projections in your link show that sticking with Symbian would have been fine since the market share plateaus with an advantage.
