You misunderstand. Ninty is not taking losses fom the UK. The problem here is that their profits there have greatly reduced. They have high profit margins. |
Sorry to hammer away at this point, but it drives me crazy. Do you really think that Nintendo was making a 50% profit margin on UK Wii sales? Because that's what would be required to maintain profitability when revenues drop 40%.
And I swear you would not see me take a swing at Sony if they were to raise prices, even if they did it outside the UK where the currency shift isn't so drastic. A company deserves to make a healthy profit, and I don't think they're doing anybody any favours by running their business into the ground.
