Nintendo makes $6 from every Wii sold

I stopped believing anything this article had to say after reading the Wii has been out three years now. I know we've passed the two years mark but when you round up two years and two weeks to three years, you can't be right on much else.

Since the Wii is nothing more than two Gamecubes duct taped together, they must have been counting the the life of the Gamecube as part of the Wii with an appropriate multiplier.

Now that I think about it, Gamecube sold for $99 towards the end of its life, and Nintendo was still profitable.  So a Wii at $250 should have $50 extra profit, unless they use the ultra expensive kind of duct tape.
