Nintendo has said that they would go out of the video game business altogether before becoming a software-only company. Every single major console they've released has been profitable - not just profitable, but wildly profitable. They're not going to release a console that is going to lose them money. They do not take that kind of risk.
Nintendo is abotu as conservative as you can get, but only because they love money.
There's more money to be made when they release hardware.
Nintendo's chance of dropping out is much lower than Sony's.
