It's all in Nintendo annual report. 

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/annual/

 

Here is a break down for you guys if you're interested-

 

This is how much Nintendo have spent on Research & Development:
FY2015: $527m
FY2014: $696m
FY2013: $567m
FY2012: $642m
FY2011: $363m


This is how much Nintendo have spent on Advertising:

FY2015: $456m

FY2014: $682m

FY2013: $650m

FY2012: $909m

FY2011: $1,160m

So they often spend more money advertising than they do developing?  

Even more Nintendo includes all development in their R&D budgets.

So this is console R&D + handheld R&D + Misc hardware R&D (QoL) + Software Tools/API Development + Games development

 

Sony & MS separate hardware/software costs.
