I read a report today that said each Nintendo employee generates $1.6 million in profit each year. Nintendo employs less than 3,000 permanent employees and is able to make so much money with so few people because it relies on outsourcing. All manufacturing of the Wii is outsourced, and even high-profile games such as Mario Party are developed externally, with oversight from Nintendo producers. Once again proving the importance of finding what you are the best at and focusing on that, and then finding strategic partnerships for everything else. Bravo Nintendo.
