But Nintendo makes more money then they do in their gaming divisions. They did last gen, and they did the generation before that. It's only until recently that this has changed. You can chalk that up to handhelds, but the fact remains, so that excuse doesn't hold up at all. |
People need to stop confusing revenue with profit.
Nintendo makes $20-$30 profit for one $50-$60 game, that's probably more than a $300 console, the hardware will inflate the revenue numbers because it's so much more expensive (one system can be the cost of 3-4 games), but games make the majority of the profit.
