Wait - your "safe strategy" is excactly where Nintendo have been failing for the last two decades. The safe strategy is excactly what they did with Wii U. As NX is Nintendo's future strategy, only runaway success will do. Considering it's supposed to replace the DS line of produts as well as home consoles, it needs to top 150 million in "traditional generational cycle", otherwise it's hard to see it as a success.

I'm sure that keeping the attach ratios strong is more important for Nintendo that creating a +250m userbase again. Even if the NX sells just 60m with HH and HC combined and lasts until the PS6 gets released (so at least a lifecycle similar to GameBoy+GBC), if the attach rates are as good as they are with an unified architecture and enough power to work well on their projects and attract a couple of good multiplats, they would be set. Profits matter a lot more than userbase, just look at the GC-PS2-XBox days.

But I thought Sony was the most profitable that gen.

Nintendo was more profitable than Sony if we count the GBA. And the GameCube did not bring losses to the company, despite the effords to keep it afloat.
