Lol er dude, ever done a basic science report before? Statement followed by reasoning is hardly something to criticise........Pokemon may sell well. The 3DS may be the best selling handheld this year but ultimately will those two things generate the revenue required? I don't believe they will, and being the best selling "console" (its a handheld, not a static console, ergo bit of a arbitrary comparison) when the others are at the end of their run is hardly anything to be declared as a success, or a successful revenue stream.
As I said, the Wii U currently has R&D costs to recooperate, and is being sold at a lost. Ironically the low sales may help negate the latter part, but low sales will not help with the former.

I'm guessing you don't know what the mark up value is on the Software on 3DS & Wii U, but especially 3DS software mark-up value.

It'll be high - any idea on the specific figure?
|
I was I knew exactly how high it is.
I do know that 3DS games have a suggested retail price of $10 to $40 by 3rd Parties right now, and that 4 GB Cartridge for 3DS have a suggested retail price of $19.99¢ to $39.99¢ from 3rd Parties. So the mark up value is clearly really high for a greedy company like Capcom to have a suggested Retail Price of $19.99¢ for a 4 GB cartidge game (Resident Evil: Revelations). And the manufacturing cost keeps getting so much cheaper with each year that goes by. Even the Wii Us 25 GB disc get sold for $29.99¢ to $59.99¢ depending on game development cost, despite knowing that it's starting out with a smaller install base during the Launch as with all Launch consoles, and with the competition selling all of their new games at $59.99¢. In fact a Wii U launch title was sold at $29.99¢ while several other Launch titles where sold at $39.99¢ at Launch.

Dude can you give me net profit of games rather than unsourced guess work? Again, 1.1 billion dollars is a lot to make.

Considerering Nintendo makes about 12% off of each game sold, Nintendo makes about $4.80 off every game sold.
So with Pokemon Black/White Nintendo roughly made this abount $72,000,000. It is an estimate but their you go. Just do a little math and you will get your answer. Now I'd appreciate it if you stopped argueing in here when you aren't really bringing up anything in the first place.
