not paying subscription. subscriptions are like 50$ a year, a nintendo console is supose to be 250$ or less. So, makes sense buying a hardware. Anyway, killing NX or not doesnt matter here. They dont need to sell NX, the great revenue come from selling games. the console is only needed for selling games, if million of consumers pay 50 a year and also get the games, would be much better profit-wise for nintendo than selling consoles. |
Nintendo almost always makes money selling their HARDWARE, as well as software.
They would not make more necessarily going third party or doing your strange plan, as you share revenue when you put a game on someone else's system.
also in the past Nintendo has made far more money on average than their competitors, in fact Nintendo made more with the Gamecube than Sony did with the PS2, despite the PS2 selling far more software and breaking records hardware wise.
I will also point out that you seem oblivious that Nintendo makes a lot of money from accessory sales. Go to any Nintendo section in a store and you'll see lots of periphials and controllers and things, more so than their competitiors. big source of revenue
this thread is ridiculous and not well researched as Nintendo does in fact generally speaking make a lot of money from non software related sales (accessories)
