Gross Margins on Products for FY End Mar 08 - all figures rounded up or down:
See if this makes sense:
Gameboy HW = $21(*)
DS HW = $25(*)
Gamecube HW = $34(*)
Wii HW = $61(*)
Gameboy SW = $6.6(*)
DS SW = $9.7(*)
Gamecube SW = $11.5(*)
Wii SW = $16.3(*)
Note for software, that is the average gross margin. Their is no breakdown between 1st and 3rd party software.
For the Wii though, by deductions - software is approx. 50/50 for 1st and 3rd Party
So if you assume a higher 1st party software gross margin, it is easy to calculate 3rd party software gross margin.
