Well Nintendo is king of software, hardware on the other hand...

Think about it, what matters more?

If the Wii ended up selling almost 400m units, that's 4 times the units of SW as compared to HW.

If the Wii was sold at say 100$-200$, and software is sold at 40-60$, the total money is

HW: 100m * 100$-200$ = 10b$-20b$ revenue

SW: 400m * 40-60$ = 16b$-24b$ revenue

Considering that SW makes typically much greater profit % than consoles (which are often sold at a loss), I think that says a lot about what matters more in the bottom line.
