console = network, game = content… is my argument.
IE Nintendo was happy to sell more units with Sega content, and sega moving to software / content had no choice but to sell on other platorms.
I’m not sure if Nintendo would get a percent of a 3rd party devs profits.
Nintendo makes money on EVERY cart sold and every electronic purchase… it is a major part of their EXPENSIVE model and why Nintendo platform games always seem more expensive. It is also why they still sell cart based systems so they are the ONLY supplier of the media, but now they have their own eStore as well.
99% sure that only happened after Sega stopped making competing consoles. IE more game content benefited their console platform
