Yes, of course it was up to Sega whether they wanted their game on another’s console at any time. My point mainly was that Nintendo didn’t block a competing game. While yes, Nintendo would profit from a console sale over a 3rd party game. Yet, seemingly not just from a 3rd party game that sells.
As, I’m not sure if Nintendo would get a percent of a 3rd party devs profits. If that was the case that does sound about right. But not sure if that was the case.
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.

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.
