I mean, companies exist to make money, they're not a charity. That's not exclusive to Nintendo, it's how all corporations function. |
There is tons of mileage in regards to how companies approach this though. All companies aim to make profit, some are more willing to eat profit margins on hardware and offer a product they envision and fits user expectations.
Nintendo's approach both to software and hardware is in fact unique to them. For example even if a 1st party games sales crawl to a halt, they won't place a heavy discount on it because that is against there Ethos. Meanwhile Sony will sell that game for $30 to push it to more users. Some very successful games offer free DLC, others do not. There is plenty of variance in how corporations approach profit.
Businesses also have underlying personalities.
