It was already mentioned in this thread (and countless others) that the GameCube itself made a profit for Big N.
But can someone provide me with figures proving this.
I mean turnover (money, not units) figures just about Gamecube hard- and software showing how much profit Nintendo made in the last generation with their home console.

Note:
I am NOT doubting that Nintendo actually made a profit.
But figures (if they exist) or at least estimations would be nice.

Nintendo took a $9 dollar hit per console sold on the Gamecube when it launched.   It was the first time ever they took a hit on any hardware.  After 6 months of sales the BOM was low enough that they made up the initial $9 hit.    It was all solid profits after that point.

 

A breakdown of actual hardware profit per SKU is not available outside of Nintendo.
