There's that, but that's not a silver bullet. What is more important is that the tech that's going into Orin (and thus into Dane) isn't a totally unknown quantity before the SoC was taped out.
The SoC in PS5 was seemingly taped out before there was any actual hardware using similar RDNA2 GPUs and features (since comparable graphics cards with similar features came out around the same time as PS5), which meant Sony in particular were caught with their pants down when significant yield issues (read: of all chips produced, a percentage does not meet the specifications for the product they're intended for) on the AMD SoC (likely the RDNA2 GPU portion) have caused some significant problems in production. But unlike AMD's graphics card chips which can be binned to create cheaper entry-level GPUs in the same family, there is no binning that can occur with the PS5 SoC at this moment. And of every production run, yields are as low as 50% (half the SoCs produced are unusable in PS5 production), according to a pre-launch report by Mochizuki in 2020 over at Bloomberg (
which Sony denied, cuz of course they did, but given their current worldwide stock issues relative to MS and Nintendo seems to have ultimately been correct). This is why PS5 is suffering the worst of all 3 hardware makers, as this issue was compounded by the chip shortage, since the easiest way to overcome yield issues is to amp up production, and well.... yeah.....
Orin hardware isn't using a whole lot of unknown GPU components and are making these decisions with supply challenges in mind, so therefore Nintendo would be aware of likely yield challenges with the CPU or GPU before they committed to a design and be able to engineer around those issues with Dane if need be.
TL;DR - the big advantage with the hybrid design is that you're usually a year behind production of similar more powerful chips in other hardware and can foresee production challenges well in advance of final decisions on an SoC for hardware that uses it. This is an advantage that Sony and MS, who are chasing the newest and most performant hardware in a non-portable configuration just don't get.
