Except they are spending money to make games. The difference is that Nintendo goes for the "less is more" approach. Focus on ideas, and give them moderate budgets to release more games, with exceptions of course. Sony and Microsoft take the "Bigger is better" approach, publishing less games, but putting a ton of money behind 3-4 games each year. Again, with exceptions. Neither practice is better or worse. The problem, is that you want Nintendo to try and be somebody they're not. Adopting the "Go big or go home" mentality that is the actual reason why there's a lack of new AAA IPs from third parties. Nintendo doesn't work like that. They focus on ideas, not budgets, only spending as much as needed on a game-by-game basis. If that means only a small budget, then that's fine. If it means a massive budget, that's fine too so long as it can break even. This approach has been working for them, so why change it?
