people keep bringing up royalties. that only works if 3rd party games are actual on the system to collect royalties, somethign that isnt the case for Wii U. 3ds does better but its not like those 3rd party games are flying off the shelves

Wii U is failing in every way and basically without any 3rd party, NX will definitely have stronger 3rd party support.

Regardless 3DS 3rd party, Monster Hunter says hi. :)

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. 

Iam pretty sure Nintendo making more than $20-30 of profit for every sold unit of hardware, also you realise that Nintendo selling tons for addons for their hardware and they have huge profit margin for them, for instance Nintendo sold minimum 100m Wii Remotes with price of $50, and cost price of Wii Remote was $10-15, do the math.
