Of course they're going to make more money as a console developer than third party. Nintendo is cheap when it comes to output, expensive to all consumers and third parties. They won't be able to force their policies onto third parties when it comes to printing software and the highest cut of the big three for selling software or licenses to develop. With Xbox One and PS4 having other options for consumers, since third parties are developing for them, Nintendo's first party, now third party, titles remaining at full MSRP for the entire existence of their life wouldn't get supported like they do on their own consoles.  They certainly wouldn't see as many millions in sales as they do now with the games sitting at full MSRP year after year.
