Nintendo seems content expanding on its own terms
I recall them buying more land in Japan to build a new 12 story building as well as them renting office space close by to their current headquarters.

I like this approach more then buying established studio's because if they just buy studio's, they are just moving people around, while making new studio's themselves is creating more jobs for new people, new talent ect

I certainly prefer the approach of building new studios and hiring people than buying publishers and devs.

Selling at a loss like other manufacturer and recouping money with SW, which they sell more than the other 2 platform holder for higher price averaged on the life of each SW and even the system.

Considering how well Switch has sold as-is, it is doubtful that making it more powerful would have done much to improve sales.  It would have just cost Nintendo money for the subsidy.  It is already among the best selling consoles ever. 

I have no doubt about it. I was just stating that Nintendo could have made a more powerful device, not that they needed it or would even sell more or profit more.
