Nintendo makes a ton of money on first-party games, and they could easily continue releasing their games exclusively on their consoles. They'd lose very little.

Random sideloaded games are just irrelevant when people are buying the systems for Zelda and Pokemon.

Nintendo charges 30% on the sale of every game sold.

Looking at the current best sellers [1] they would stand to lose a significant amount of money.

Easily in the billions based on current revenue.
