Most people don’t buy top of the line NVIDIA so they are okay with lower performance. If lower performance is sold at significantly lower price… they are likely to make a lot of sales. For example if someone offered me a 4060 equivalent for $100, I would buy it instantly and lower my graphics settings if needed.
The absolute majority of Nvidias sales globally are top-of-the-line AI SKUs. Gaming cards are just a way of letting data scientists and developers have cheap CUDA hardware at home (while allowing some Cyberpunk), so they keep buying NVL clusters at work.
Nvidia’s networking division is probably a greater revenue stream than gaming GPUs.

Ah yeah, from AI perspective yes. I was stricrly speaking of the gaming market.
Yeah, that’s the thing.
The gaming market only barely exists at this point. That’s why Nvidia can ignore the gaming market for as long as they want to.
