Yes, I remember that Ocarina of time made more money over the christmas period when it was released than all the hollywood movies shown at that time put together.
Additionally, I'm pretty sure Nintendo take a lot more per game on licencing fees than Sony do.

This is indeed true. However, the total profit made from the PS (not just by Sony, but in the whole industry) was about 100 times bigger than that made by the N64.
Looking at Ninty and Sony themselves, Ninty did indeed get far more money. But remember, 2 years ago they made $1billion from pokemon alone, and a loss from everything else put together. It just shows how the one brand can lift the company.

Thats all that matters really. That's why Mario and Co are so very very important to Nintendo. Just like Sonic to Sega really..
