Did you even read what you yourself bolded? How many Pokemon games did Nintendo sell between GTA IV and GTA V? Five! How much have they sold combined? Over 50 million. AND developement costed less, so they make more profit per unit. So they sell at least as much as Take-Two's biggest IP in the same amount of time with a higher profit margin? AND they have other IP's that simply make more than any other Take-Two IP.

You constructed the sentence incorrectly if that's the point you were trying to convey. Nintendo does not profit more per unit. The words you're looking for is that the individual budgets are much lower (which is then countered by it selling 3-10x the numbers of a normal Pokemon game), the games themselves are also cheaper, so you have to consider that as well.

Arguing against the monumental sales and cash brought in by GTA4 and GTA5 is very tough to do. At least you're trying.

The bigger point is that was only one game in five years for Take Two that was that good. If we don't forget our history, Take Two was VERY close to being bought out by EA before GTAIV came out, and they actually *lost* money the year that GTAIV came out.

The company has strengths, but are totally unable to turn that into financial stability.
