If you think two billions is barely enough for Pokémon Sword and Shield development, you must be a stakeholder of Nintendo or a completely deluded fan.
I'm saying it's not as much net as you think it is. Plus if Nintendo has any losses on any games or consoles (think Wii U) that also eats into the net. You're probably too young to understand how expensive business can get when you have feast and famine cycles as well as cost offsets.
You can't argue for that while they have been having record-breaking net profits for the last 5 years. source 1, source 2. Your delusion truly is outstanding.

Which for a few hundred developers over the course of a few years is certainly profitable but it's not nearly as much net as you think it is.
