Well, I wasn't sure whether or not to inclue the distribution costs in the revenue number, since after the fact you still need to subtract development cost (which is not counted in the price of the game).

So maybe yeah, you could boost that number up by an extra 25 to 50%. Still huge tho.

Don't you mean boost it down? You said 1st party Wii games cost $60, but I think they go for $50, as opposed to HD games.

That would be an oxymoron, because "boost" refers to an increase.

Anyway, $50 would be the usual price for a Wii game. Not much of a point to account for distribution and development costs when it isn't done for Angry Birds either. While AB doesn't have distribution costs, I think 30 % of the revenue is taken by Apple.

If  that's true, then AB is left with 70% of the $225M figure. That leaves them with $157M.

According to my two figures above ($1.057B$1.588B), best case scenario Nintendo would be beating them by a factor of 10 on Mario Kart Wii.
