I'm not buying it. At launch the cost estimate for the Wii was $180.

 

At launch $180 was about 21600 Yen (Nintendo's actual cost then)

Today, 21600 Yen is $226.  That's $46 less profit per unit sold in America (assuming no cost reductions in manufacturing).

That's painful.  They might have even pulled more profit in the beginning than they are now with that kind of exchange rate fluctuation.



Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.
