It's pretty obvious that Nintendo makes more money. Third party support doesn't come free. Nintendo sells hardware because of their first party games. |
Obvious? Why? Pokemon is a good seller, but it isn't a CoD or GTA, games that sell the majority of copies at full price and aren't retailing for a lower MRSP like portable titles. And just look at the massive amount of 3rd party games, it's way more titles than Nintendo can output.
3rd party support is basically free. Even when we have exclusivity deals, it's never a direct money transfer. It's normally lowered royalties, better online store placement, free advertising, bundles, things that are cheap for the console company.
And just to close it, they create games that sell like Pokemon, that is a 12M+ series now. Halo, GT, even TLOU will end up doing these kind of numbers.If we factor in 3rd parties like GTA or CoD, it becomes a bad joke.
3rd parties are what sells consoles. Lack of 3rd party support is why Wii U is in the position it is today and why this gen PS4 will easily outsell Wii U + 3DS even with a way higher price point.
