They're playing less AAA games, yes. People are thinking much harder about the $60+ price tag as AAA studios repeatedly fail to live up to their promises. I feel like Nintendo is the only AAA company that doesn't have a losing record for the past ~5 years

There’s a few L’s but overall yeah, Nintendo has been doing fine.
