EITHER: Nintendo buys exclusives (1), or it doesn't (2)
1:
Nintendo has less money to make their own games, leading to fewer games and fewer potential marketable IPs created.
Nintendo needs a certain amount of that game to sell for it to be profitable for them
-- or --
2:
Nintendo gets to invest in new studios, IPs, games, random ideas, etc. with their money, where they have much greater control over quality, etc.
Any 3rd party game that sells is automatically profitable for Nintendo.
I know which I would choose, in their position...
Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.
