Nintendo doesn't work like your typical western companies where failing to increase profit each quarter = death (investment funds like blackrock play a big part in this, but that's a different story).

They have a number of mobile games, but they don't invest heavily on those, despite said games being high earners - Fire Emblem Heroes' revenue has decreased consistently year by year, but still brought in ~48mil dollars in 2024. If anything, that's proof that they are not exploiting brand value for short-term profit. Their problem is a brain-damaged overzealous protection of their IP, which isn't uncommon in Japan: Johnny and Associates controlled with an iron fist all the photos and videos that could or could not be shown of idols under their management
