Nintendo technically is almost always a success. Might be behind the others at times but since the company focuses mostly on games and they have multiple first party games that are almost always hits they do just fine.

Read once they draw in the most profit. It's a skewed number if I recall but it boils down to they make their stuff cheaper than other companies but they also ain't bleeding money in other departments like Sony.
IIRC, the Wii U was one of the only times Nintendo was selling at a lost, at least initially. Otherwise they always price things to be relatively affordable for the masses while also not producing at a lost.

They are also famously reserved in their budgets, so nearly every game profits. Breath of the Wild was one of their most expensive games and they mentioned they had to sell 2 million to break even. That's it. Compare that to how many studios think 5 million is disappointing and that paints a stark picture about budget management.
