Nintendo employees generate $1.6m each

Each employee at Nintendo has earned the company $1.6 million (£800,000) in profit this year.

Nintendo made £2 billion profit this year, and makes more money per employee than global giants Goldman Sachs and Google, according to The Financial Times.

The console manufacturer employs 3,000 full-time staff within the company, and outsources much of its development to other studios to lower costs.

Despite the substantial profits per head, employees on average earn £45,000 annually, compared to those working at Goldman Sachs earning an average of £350,000.
