I haven't seen anything which proves beyond a doubt the performance of the Gamecube as a profit driving entity. Does anyone have such proof. |
In the post I linked you, if you add up Nintendo profits from 2001-2006 you get a grand total of...
$5,337,861,430 for Nintendo
For Sony's entire history you have.
$1,674,413,200. That's roughly 31% of Nintendo's profits during the Gamecube era.
Now of course the GBA was largely succesfull during this time and the DS was starting to take off, but I highly doubt that accounted for 70% of Nintendo's profits.
If Gamecube didn't outprofit Sony's game division, it was pretty damn close.
