You say Nintendo will make money from 3rd parties, but Sony nor Microsoft are making money with them. Yoshida himself said they make very little money from software sales. So, what's the real solution? The point I'm trying to make here is that the comparison isn't fair. A better comparison would be to compare the software sales of both the PS4 and the Wii U's exclusives. |
Man, read the link you posted... it was regarding to 1st parties (and possibly on indies game as well), for like 90+% of the 3rd parties Sony invest 0 on the game and just collect the royalties, so it is pure profit... the only way to lose money on a 3rd party is if you paid for exclusive content or game and didn't sold enough (like Ryse or D4)... Sony make a lot of money on royalties on 3rd party MP.
