The truth about Nintendo

This is terribly wrong.

The main problem is that you want your videogames to be subsidized by Microsoft's profitable Windows and Office, and Sony's other divisions (when they were profitable, years ago), now you would be having your videogames subsidized by Sony debt.

You are basically praising what is known as dumping.

If I am Wall Mart, and I open a super market in some third world country, and sell everything very cheaply, even losing money, to eliminate the competition that needs to make a profit to survive, because I know the profits of the American supermarkets would let me take a loss here, that is negative even if the inhabitants of that third world country have cheaper food for a while.

What Nintendo does is what is healthy and should be normal, companies making a profit on what they sell. You basically have been spoiled by an unhealthy business practice that could cause the video game market to crash.

No, I don't want that. Look at how Sony Game Division presented profits in the last quarter without holding back the industry like Nintendo has always done. That's the way to go: profitable but healthy to the gaming ecosystem.
