Not sure I follow you.

What I think you may be talking is about using non-original options, and that isn't what I'm talking about. What I'm saying is that the dock for Switch cost Nintendo very cheap.

Does the Switch dock cost Nintendo less than the $60 Sony and MS charge to allow online multiplayer?

(I thought PS4 and XB1 both sold at a profit this gen https://www.techinsights.com/blog/playstation-4-vs-xbox-one-teardown-comparison)

Yes it does, and yes both Sony and MS are greedy on their charging of multiplayer (but not sure why you are asking since Nintendo isn't doing much better on charging for online are they?)

PS4 and X1 sold for a loss at the start of the gen. Sony said they broke even with one game and PS+ sold with a console. That is were the 50 loss per HW assumption comes from (there is no precise and official loss per HW).

Selling HW at a loss at the start of the generation is a strategy used for over 20 years on console world and have nothing to do with not being able to manage own finances or HW being undesireable.
