Nintendo’s business model doesn’t depend on robust 3rd party support, they sell hardware with large profit margins and focus on first party software that is somewhat less resource intensive and also suitable for larger audiences
Sony sells hardware at a loss or break even, and pursues a first party strategy of extremely high budget productions that frequently dabble in graphic violence or other mature themes that make them ill suited for younger audiences.
Sony needs the third party sales much more than Nintendo, which is why continued losses on that front would force Sony to have to reevaluate their console and software strategy. Even the threat of not having something like call of duty is much more impactful for Sony than it ever was for Nintendo
