| gebx said: So if the Wii was originally sold at profit and two years later its at $6?? Seems hard to believe.. specially with this comment "Nintendo's strategy is to buy inexpensive components instead of making them in-house, allowing the Wii to sell for $260 while the PS3 costs $300." ??? It just seems wrong all around.. I'd love for Nintendo to call BS on the report and release an official statement |
Depending on how much profit they made in the beginning, their current profit may be much lower even with cost savings achieved on production. For each Wii sold in the US/Europe, Nintendo now receives 15-30% less than they used to. It's almost like they made a price cut.
That said, this article doesn't look reliable at all.
