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.

Well the articles I've checked claim 20% to retailer, so I'd asume the general number is around there.

Either way, I just want to make it clear that the 60 figure is far from what they profit from each sold retail copy. Digital sales however are a much different story.

I agree that $60 is far from profit for sold physical copy of game, but Nintendo definitely doesn't have only $27 of profit for their $60 physical games.
