You kinda contradict yourself. If they put very little budget on their not well recognized franchises then they are being very conservative on avoid risk.
Certainly I can agree that Nintendo makes more varied titles than most if not all Japanese developers. Still Capcom and Sega aren't limited to the 2 IPs each you have put.
But yes, we can agree with the premisse you put on general terms.
