They are the only one that makes a profit per unit sold, compared to Sony and Microsoft. They confirmed this again before the Switch launched, and if we conveniently forget about 2020 for a second, manufacturing would have only gotten cheaper over time.

I see. Well, since that's the case, I can see why they haven't made their games available on other platforms.

Personally, I haven't purchased a Nintendo game in more than a decade. I would consider buying Nintendo games if I could play them on other hardware, but I'm not going to purchase a switch just to play Nintendo first party titles. But I suppose Nintendo does well enough without consumers like me.
