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.

Nintendo have made more profit than any gaming company in the past three years - five years - ten years in profit. Pokemon helped them in 98-99 make a 72% increase in profit.
Yes I am sure. Even with the Playstation. Thats why the Nintendo64 was no way near a failure for Nintendo. It made them money. Also interesting to hear that Konami have had serious profit fallings in the past year... Metal Gear Solid2.. although being as big as it was, never made back what the company invested into it.
The profits and finance is where Sega mecked up as well, its very rare that hardware makes profit for that company. The Dreamcast although being an amazing console ran Sega's pockets completely dry and they had to give up on it really. Nintendo have both the GBA and GameCube now. Very strong with both of them.
Starting to waffle now... it says a lot though.
