They were selling GameCube's at a profit for $199. I highly doubt they weren't making $50+ profit on each Wii sold at launch, and couldn't afford to drop the price if need be.

Hell, initial rumors suggested the Wii would be priced $99-149, and the $249 price point was only announced AFTER MS and Sony announced their $399+ price tags, probably because Nintendo knew they could get away with a higher price after that.

If that's true, then Nintendo is more brilliant then i thought they were.
