I'm not sure if that's correct. While Nintendo does make some profit selling the Switch console, it's not much, and they make most of their money by selling their own games and charging fees to third-party developers. But I don't know the exact amounts, so this may be wrong.

I include the 3rd party fees as part of the hardware platform.

I could be wrong too, but I don’t think most of their money comes from their own games.

Actually, thinking about their other franchises like Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Smash, etc. you’re probably right, but I still fell like the way they act/view themselves is in-line with my comment.
