| Akvod said: I thought Michael Pachter had a pretty simple and compelling argument. You mainly make money off of consoles by: 1) Royalties/Licensing fees from third party games. 2) Selling your consoles at a profit |
You forgot 3) Selling your own games.
Not joking: at the rate Nintendo games often sell, the royalties they save by being first party have to be pretty monstrous.
