The production of gaming consoles is not the most profitable business, we can judge this by the comments of AMD, which supplies its components to Microsoft and Sony. Another thing is that a stable stream of revenue for several years forms a financial foundation that allows component suppliers for gaming consoles to assume long-term obligations.
According to the resource Polygon , the Japanese research company Formalhaut Techno Solutions dismantled the Nintendo Switch game console to make an approximate calculation of the cost price for components and materials.
The Nintendo Switch itself, along with the docking station, costs the manufacturer $ 167, and another $ 45 adds each of the two removable manipulators Joy-Con. In general, for a manipulator, each copy of which is offered in retail at a price of $ 50, such a high cost is not quite typical. Together, it runs $ 257 for one complete Nintendo Switch. With a retail price of $ 299, the margin for profit remains tiny, because this analysis technique does not take into account the full cost price. Related Products :
