that's nice... unless you have a breakdown of where the costs/profits are of third party software, that information is pretty irrelevant to this discussion...

Nintendo doesn't waste their money making shady deals with third party studios and having expensive console bundles with third party games. ;)

Or do you think exclusive marketing, third party games in console bundles, exclusive content, exclusive dlc, timed exclusivety, permanent exclusivety, etc. is free?

Well Microsoft lost because of the original Xbox and from. Not because of what you listed. Other wise they would have been in the red every year (;
