I have nothing against Nintendo doing good and making profit. My only issue is people criticizing AAA putting 100M on a game to sell 10M and make good profit versus Nintendo puting 10M and selling 15M at the same pricetag, asking the others to better manage their budget.

To me a 30% margin is more than decent, if a company is making much more than that, then they should be investing that in making even better things for me, or charge less.

Well that come to personal taste, that $10m game can be better, more fun or game with more content compared to $100m game, it doesn't really matters if one game looks like movie and other like cartoon.

I think Nintendo definitely goes for much more higher margin than 30% for their games or consoles addons, for instance they said they need to sell around 2m copies of Zelda BotW to make profit and they will sell around 10m most likely.

No problem you preffering the 10m game, but if they are making 80% profit (8M profiting after 2M break even) I would appreciate the game costing like half and they breaking even on 4M and profiting on the 6M.
