and what source did you check? Because that's quite a bit different than this good ol' pie chart:


Then there's the online stores, where platform owners get ~30% of every third party sale and 100% for their own stuff.

I was just going off what a executive told me when I worked for a major video game development company/publisher. It was specifically related to the fact that they sell brand new console games to their own employees for $20 each, so I asked him if they ended up losing money on each game they sold their employees, and he told me that break down, and claimed they didn't. Now I'll be the first to admit this was year and years ago, and it could have been specific to this publisher, and he could have been blowing smoke up my ass and making shit up just to get me to go away.

Sorry if I'm totally wrong.

You can't really believe Nintendo only gets $2 for every Pokémon game sold, right? That would mean they only make around $30 million for a mainlike Pokémon game release. They might as well not bother publishing Pokémon games then lol. 

As for Pokémon Go Nintendo only received around 10-20% of the profits because it also had to share with Google and Niantic.
