Superior hardware to their competitors (Nintendo and XBOX).

>How do they do it?
despite fucking up at every step (ps5 pro without disc drive, 12 concords, awful first party output) their main competitor pretty much gave up (it took them two generations but we finally got there) so now they have a monopoly in the home console market
half of the profit comes from the store/microtransactions, you don't really need a steady stream of exclusive if normies are more than happy to purchase cod skins
>inb4 sòytendo
there's little to no overlap between the normies that like cod and latest UE5 games and normies that like mario kart and zelda
source: words of Shuhei Yoshida, that's how sony views nintendo internally and he was very open about during a podcast he made not long ago with people familiar with the nintendo side of things, the two audiences are simply too different and I have been saying this for years

Astrobot was testing the waters. They're coming for the Tendie crowd too.

they will never pull it off
it's not like playstation never had popular mascotts or more family-friendly games like crash, sackboy/lbp and now astro, but the things is no matter what they do they will never have the recognizability of mario so no, they might get some piece of the pie but nintendo is the indisputable king of the sòy

3rd party games with MTX, lootboxes and live service. Fortnite and the yearly FIFA game pull a fuckton of cash.
