Nintendo Makes $6 For Every Wii Sold
For every Nintendo Wii sold Nintendo makes $6. This low number may come as a suprise to most folks, but Nintendo making a profit on the consoles is something the XBox and Playstation only dreams of. Sony is believed to lose money on each Playstation console and Microsoft barely breaks even with the XBox console. This year 19 Million Wii’s were sold for a grand total of $114 million US dollars. These numbers came from an article in Forbes Magazine. Although, its believed Nintendo could be earning more money on software licensing fees because they create 60% of the software themselves. A big reason for this is 3 most purchased Wii games are Nintendo made – Wii Play, Super Smash Bros, and Super Mario Galaxy. Whereas Sony and XBox earns more money through license fees from outside companies making Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty, and Assassin’s Creed.
