Nintendo having all their games available everywhere a better business than restricting them to a console?

I selected "I have no idea". They probably have a higher profit margin by not having to pay royalties to anyone for the sales on Mario and Pokemon games which routinely sell over 10 million copies, and they receive royalties from third parties. Also, they have autonomy on the visibility of their own games on their own eShop, and they don't have to spend the extra resources required in making a game for multiple platforms. So if they could somehow have a larger profit margin by putting their games on all platforms and paying royalties to others, I don't have enough information to know this.
