Nintendo model is possible, but requires talent, hardwork and commitment to quality.  Zelda and Mario are among best managed series in gaming history and have my deepest respect.

Ask another company to make "Breath of the Wild" or "Odyssey" and they simply won't be able. Ask them to make another Skinner box game and have it done by next month. 

Nintendo isn't the only company to look after. There are plenty examples out there: Capcom has done a fine job with Monster Hunter, Ubisoft has also managed the Far Cry series pretty well (and they only got into trouble with Assassins Creed because of their greedy manners), Square-Enix with Dragon Quest or the biggest of all: Rockstar with GTA.

I wasn't saying they were, but they are best at it from my perspective and who others follow.  In 30+ years they've watched even great companies mismange once massive series.  It is pretty incredible of them to see massive revenue from a Pokemon Go and still insist on making a quality new Pokemon game on Switch.  Most companies don't think about ten years down the road, they think about next quarter or maybe end of fiscal year.
