What makes the average Nintendo game hold its value so well compared to other console games

You have debunked nothing lol. Bad games published by Nintendo are treated exactly the same in pricing. It's nothing to do with a level of quality, but instead a policy of the publisher. They choose to keep their prices high because they can. Comparing them to Apple in this space is pretty fair imo.

And why can they do it?

Because they release games in their own controlled environment and have created a culture where no one expects Nintendo games to drop in price. If the majority of your consumers accept it, there's no real push for it to be changed. They satisfy whatever demand for lower prices through the Nintendo Selects/Player's Choice system. They'd rather maintain that premium pricepoint and image which is helped by first party vs third party releases and sales.
