Maybe Nintendo should focus the dedicated home NX console that's going to have the big third party games as more of a digital only platform? That way third parties can make a larger profit margin. $59.99 for a copy of Call of Duty NX = $48 for the third party, $12 for Nintendo. If they sell only 350,000 copies of COD NX that comes out to just shy of $17 million in profit. Lets say they sell another 250,000 of COD Portable NX at $18 profit (retail business model), that's another $5 million in profit. $23 million in profit from NX ... not bad chunk of change. Unifying the platform will help sales, lets not forget.

There is a real posibility for a digital-only NX, but it won't be the norm. I imagine they will sell it for 50€ less and with double the inner storage, to incentivize customers. But the main models will have an option for physical games (probably cartriges).
