Even with Xbox Live and a profitable Xbox I don't see Microsoft making 60% the amount of Nintendo. They just don't sell enough of either subscriptions or consoles. |
Don't forget about the software. Most wii titles are $50 while most 360 titles are $60. The $10 difference adds up quickly.
|
But how much is Microsoft getting. Because Microsoft gets 10 dollars ish right? How much Nintendo get? Because I thought the reason why the wii was cheaper was it was cheaper for the devs to develop for so they didn't need to increase price on software like the PS3 and Xbox360

That excuse was a big pile of junk. Pc games are in hd just like ps3 and 360 but most of them are still $50. Microsoft and Sony charge $60 so they can get more in royalty money. Nintendo decided to keep theirs the same this gen.
|
@assassin's creed 2 @Warcraft 3 and @Starcraft 2 But yes I know in general it's cheaper.
I'm just saying it's a reasonable excuse to prove, and to some extent might be the case like the devs get a percentage more than they did the previous generation. what is the difference between the royalties nintendo gets and the royalties Microsfoft gets.

That is a good question and one that I don't know the answer to. I think I remember reading last gen that microsoft took less royalties last gen with the xbox than the ps2 and nintendo gamecube which wouldn't be surprising since they were new to the console market and wanted developers to support the system. But I would assume since third party software sells better on the ps3 and 360 that microsoft and sony could demand a higher percentage of royalties than nintendo.
