So as long as they make at 1 yen profits each year its all fine? And they already have sold real estate, they sold alot to MS last gen.

Define a lot.

Do you mean a lot as in a high volume of something?  Or a lot as in a single lot like a parking lot or grassy field?  Because the latter is much closer to reality. 

NoA and MS HQs are right next door to each other.  Nintendo sold to MS some unused land that shared the border between them.  It was also damn near a decade ago.

Nintendo shut down their game development operations in Redmond and sold a massive parcel of commercially graded real estate about 1/3 the size of Disneyland. Ya slightly larger than a parking lot. In that decade time they could have built new studios or something. The average new AAA game studio takes over 10 years from concept to first game. Sony just didn't have all these dev teams out of thin air, it takes much time.
