Profit is more important than Revenue, Console hardware has horrendous profit margins in relation to software. Also you might be surprised...
2015:
Home Console Hardware Revenue - $879 Million
Handheld Console Hardware Revenue - $1.24 Billion
Total Hardware Revenue - $2.12 Billion
Home Console Software Revenue - $706 Million
Handheld Console Software Revenue - $1.25 Billion
Total Software Revenue - $1.96 Billion
Not "by far" at all. There's no doubt software makes more profit for nintendo many many MANY times over.
