Wii dominates current 7th generation consoles with 47% of global Platform Revenue

 

Console games profits for Sony/Microsoft come from Software, as consoles sold at a loss. The lower cost Wii has generated Profit for Nintendo.

 

 

 When you include the profit made by the sale of the Wii system and games for the Wii it has 47% of the revenue marketshare, this is different from saying the Wii has 47% of Software revenue.

Revenue is not the same as profit.

Sony and MS get more revenue per console sold (and more per game sold) than Nintendo even though they profit less. Revenue is how much money is handed over to Nintendo.
