So 20m units solds are at full $60?

Selling at nintendo levels, only talks about how many copies of games are sold, he never mentions price.

You do, to imply that its better to sell games at high prices.
(which it is, for the company bottom line.... as a consumer, it isn't, good games at cheap prices = awesome)

(basically its a console wars reply, because you dont want others to sell "near nintendo levels" of 1st party games? This is like Apple people bragging about spending 1,000$ on phones, when other phone makers, sometimes sell better hardware for a 3rd of the price)

Even then, I'm not sure sony would change anything. Having a wide array of software thrive on the platform is what gives Playstation its consistency and why its FY19 profits were reportedly the 2nd highest in video game history.

Ideally you want a combo of both mega selling first party and huge selling 3rd party, pirce cuts help find that balance imo
