Something insane to think about is the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sales. There was a thread recently showing something like 25M sales.
Nintendo is the developer and publisher of that game. When a copy is bought on their digital store, they get essentially 100% of the cut. When a physical copy is sold at retail, they get, what? 70%? I don't know.
The point is, 25M copies at $60 is $1.5B and they get an absurdly high percentage of that revenue. And it's a fucking port of a Wii U game, so it cost them next to nothing to develop for Switch. That's one single title in their Switch lineup.
