A $60 retail game does not earn Nintendo a gross profit of $60. Closer to $27, so Soundwave's calculation is more accurate in that regard, considering retailers cut (varies, but expect 20%), tax (varies, expect 20%), manufacturing/packaging, distribution, price protection for returns, etc. |
Offcourse that gross profit is not $60, but only $27 for 1st party game and reatilers cut of 20%!? I think that isnt true at all, I think Nintendo making around $35-40 gross for evre sold phisical cope of $60 game, not to mentione that good number of Nintendo sales are now digital sales, around 20-30% and thats basicly 100% gross profit for evre digital sold game. IMO Zelda cost Nintendo closer to $100m not to $60m.
