I read somewhere years ago that at the height of its popularity Pokemon made Nintendo more money in one year than the PS1 made SONY during its entire lifetime.

I must admit most people would take their hats off to a company that can get away with marking up a 5 cents playing card to nearly a buck at retail.

Not even close.

Though in 2008 and 2009, Nintendo did gain more profit in those single years than the entirety of the PS brand.

 

I forget which but one of our own members here made this handy chart.
