Here is a break down for you guys if you're interested-
This is how much Nintendo have spent on Research & Development: FY2015: $527m FY2014: $696m FY2013: $567m FY2012: $642m FY2011: $363m
This is how much Nintendo have spent on Advertising:
FY2015: $456m
FY2014: $682m
FY2013: $650m
FY2012: $909m
FY2011: $1,160m
|
So they often spend more money advertising than they do developing?

Even more Nintendo includes all development in their R&D budgets.
So this is console R&D + handheld R&D + Misc hardware R&D (QoL) + Software Tools/API Development + Games development
Sony & MS separate hardware/software costs.
