Is 1 PS4 more profitable than 1 Switch?

^ in terms of 1 unit of hardware sale? my guess? no.

I remember back when we found out specs, people where guessing 199-249$ price points for it.

Nintendo is makeing bank ($$$) on each sale, of hardware.

 

In terms of software? probably.

257$ was the apprixmate price of the Switch hardware, excluding shipping and retailer margins. So while Nintendo doesn't sell at a loss, they don't make big earnings, either. However, the PS4 is probably sold at a loss, so yes, Switch is more profitable

As for the software, Sony gains more from third party deals, but Nintendo sells much more first party titles. But due to the larger install base, I'm pretty sue Sony gains more right now.
