Well, that and the size of the market itself.
> Their games and online offerings, for the most part, frankly suck compared to their competitors.
Their online offerings, sure, I guess. But their games are good, even on their consoles that don't sell well. Nintendo made a lot of money by doing nothing more difficult than porting really good games on Wii U onto the Switch.
They make money on remakes of decades-old games with minor graphical and quality of life tweaks because the games are good.
Not everything likes all of their games, and that's fine, but many do.
