The combined budget of those games would probably equal one of sony's.  

 

Again I'm not saying nintendo don't do anything awesome job but sony but in a lot of resources too. 

Does a budget make a game inherently bigger/better? 

If I go outside and dump all the money in my wallet into a puddle of mudd, is that money better off than had I spent just $1 on a candy bar and saved the rest? Nintendo is extremely conservative with their budgets, but it doesn't show in their big games.

No it doesn't but a lot of consumers like me want the blockbuster experience.  Indies/small 3rd parties fill the void for the cheaper titles.  It's a pretty good combo.
