Did you read the note below the chart? It's not just hardware and the software on it... It includes digital content/services!
So MS/SONY looks too high thanks to online play subscription, xbox live/ps now. Something that Nintendo hasn't so far! They are introducingthat with switch, so IHS cannot predict for that when they don't know anything about how this new service of Nintendo will be and how much online play subscription will cost.
Nintendo makes that 5B with the overwheliming majority coming from physical content. The report cites that sony made 4.4b with ps now excluding online play subscriptions. So, it's no surprise that Nintendo will finally charges us for online play and will create a service like ps now/xboxlive! it's an anti-consumer move tbut business-wise is smart... Huge increasment of the profit. |
Well do you think Nintendo will only be up slightly from last year with the launch of Switch and Nintendo starting to charge for online?
