A 2013 comparison from Wikipedia.
Nintendo has 5200 employees. Revenue was 6 billion. Electronic Arts has 9370 employees. Revenue was 3.8 billion. Activision has 7061 employees. Revenue was 4.6 billion.
These numbers are outdated but it shows that Nintendo's revenue would significantly decrease as a third party publisher. I mean EA and Activision with their DLCs and microtransactions still didn't make more money than Nintendo. This was both The Wii U's and 3DS worst year, yet despite having less employees than both, they still had more revenue. |
Title is true but the OP and OP's logic don't make much sense.
Nintendo makes a lot of their profit from hardware, hardware sales would either drop significantly or dissapear altogether depending on the degree that Nintendo became third party.
Pachter said a long time ago that since Nintendo has structured itself as a hardware company rather than a software one, it is dependent on its hardware sales.
