Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo Revenue = INSANE

The thing is when Nintendo revenue was much lower they still made more profit than sony and M$, who had higher revenue. So with this massive amount of revenue, they gonna smash the competition in terms of profit.

I read that $2.4 billion of that was cold, hard cash in their pockets (profit)



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Damn, this is confusing. Is the following correct?

Sony's hardware revenue > Nintendo's hardware revenue
Sony's hardware+software revenue
Nintendo's profit > 9000
Sony's profit

It's only logical that all the companies are reporting the numbers that make them sound the best. Kinda like holiday season 06, when MS said they had won due to selling the most next gen consoles (360), Sony said they had won due to selling the most home consoles (PS2+PS3), and Nintendo said they had won due to selling the most gaming devices (GBA+NGC+Wii+DS).

 Yes, but remember that companies like Sony and Microsoft who delve in and dabble in many markets and have many divisions will have a massive net turnover even though their games division might not be sweeping the tables nowadays compared to Ninty. Sony is still earning a whole lot on PS2 software sales, and their other divisions are doing better than in the last 4-5 years, so they're not going anywhere soon regardless of PS3 losses on books. Same with MS, they're forking in on the software applications.

It is worth nothing though, that both Sony and MS have a very small profit (2006, last full accounted year) compared to net turnover. Their profits for 06 were neck and neck (approx 1.25 billion $ or some such). Sony's revenue is greater total though, since they have so many divisions.

wow. Nintendo must be building up huge financial resources with all this. Their bank manager must love them.

Yeah, but does that make Wii Sports more fun to play.
