DLC can't make up the difference. Even if the DLC was priced the same as the mobile version, it would still need a 50%+ attach ratio for the same revenue.

So you`re on #teamNintendoom now or something?

FIFA 13 sold 0.75 million across Wii U and 3DS. So to make the same revenue then FIFA would need to sell... 0.75m on NX alone. So if you`re saying it would need a 50% attach rate then I guess you`re saying you think NX`s lifetime sales will only be 1.5m right?

750k sales across home/mobile.

500K home($60) + 250K mobile ($40) (66:33 split)

$30M home + $10M mobile

To recoup the $10M of lost mobile sales (one console instead of two), DLC would have to sell at $40 with 250K downloads. $40 DLC with an attach of 50% for the original game.

The same applies to Nintendo. 10m Mario Kart sales lost on mobile can't be replaced by DLC for the home version. If DLC $ can't make up for the loss of a platform then it'll be 2xMario Kart/Smash/Splatoon/SMB etc per gen instead of one on mobile and one on home.
