The wait for a Xenoblade 4 with sw2 graphics is unbearable.

I trust them as well. The wait will be worth it. Also the fantasy IP should be revealed soon.

They don't respect their fans at all. Nintendo treat their fans like shit.
But they do have the sense to know that your platform begins to crumble when it doesn't offer something unique and differentiated.

Never owned a cancer system from a cancer company. Greedy, anti-consumer, rehashed IP in different flavors that the fanbase can't stop fapping to because "nostalgia" while simultaneously always asking others to innovate with IP, being abused by predatory tactics to buy the same shit with a higher resolution for $40 every gen and lastly, it takes a certain level of depraved consensus to defend such a horrible company as if they actually care about you over profits.
Now if you excuse me, I have better things to do, like play amazing games.

Exclusives helped, but given how good exclusives still didn't save the WiiU...I think the hybrid form factor Nintendo came up with for the Switch was a bigger reason for its success. Combo-ing their console and handheld divisions into one system just gives them a better release cadence as well.
I'm still not compelled to want to jump into the Switch 2, and they gotta put more effort into Pokemon. One bright spot is we got another 3D Donkey Kong game at least.

Do they make more profit than Sony with that strategy?

I would assume Nintendo makes a ton more profit on their first party games than Sony. Nintendo have way smaller budgets, pretty much every title is sold for full-price for the entire generation, and tend to sell in the tens of millions.
I'm pretty sure Nintendo also churns out more first party titles than Sony in general in a year.

That's obvious, but they don't sell third party games as much as Sony.
I think that's the reason why they can afford to keep games exclusive.

Oh, for sure. With "strategy" I just assumed you meant each company's first-party strategy specifically, not in general.
I assume Nintendo makes more profit on their first party titles than Sony does despite Sony's also releasing on PC.
In general Sony makes more from what I've seen, at least in recent years:
| Company | 2023–2024 FY Profits | 2024–2025 FY Profits |
|---|---|---|
| EA | $1.2 Billion | $1.1 Billion |
| Nintendo | $3.5 Billion | $2.2 Billion |
| PlayStation | $1.9 Billion | $2.8 Billion |

Nintendo made 5.7, Sony 4.7
When the industry collapses again and crashes. Nintendo will be the one standing to pick it all back up again. Hopefully their purusit of theme parks and movies doesn't cloud their gaming judgement. When times are tough, Nintendo will find a new paradigm for their own survival and the industry.
