Quick question: Do console developers like XBox and the Switch take ~30% cuts of every game sold for their platform? Genuinely curious.

Looks like Nintendo takes on average 40%

That article mentions publishers but not Nintendo specifically at all AFAICT. Is Nintendo considered a publisher?

Nintendo is a publisher.

Also publishers FUND your game as well which is why they take a larger cut, like how a vc would.

Yes, the norm everywhere is 30%. It's 30% on Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo eShop, etc. Only Epic's store is less (12%).
