Different business models, AAA focuses on making money as quick as possible to clear costs and profit otherwise the studio/publisher ends up taking a huge hit because the costs accumulate with the next project and eat up into any potential profit the company makes, Nintendo's business model is more about retaining a flow of income in the long run hence why their games retain their prices and why Nintendo tend to approach their budgets a lot more conservatively it's also why sales legs of games is more of an important factor with them.
