If Nintendo is making $100 per system and sells 40-50m of those systems, thats $40 BILLION dollars in hardware PROFIT. Thats an ungodly amount of money. Nintendo, like Sony wants MONEY. PROFIT.
Thats $4-5 billion, still a good amount.
And ur reasoning about the companies wanting money is correct, but the hardware sales do matter more then just the profit or loss of each sale, it matters to the gamers as higher hardware sales usualy gives more games and it matters to the company as high hardware sales gives good rep which gives good developper support and loyalty. Most gamers couldnt care less wether their consoles company is earning or lossing as long as they can pump out their favourite consoles and games each gen.
