Paper Mario, Mario Kart and Animal Crossing are not remakes.
Nintendo never ever sells hardware at or below cost. The strategy has never worked; the only way to encourage hardware adoption is good software, not pricing. Nintendo is exceptionally profitable and always has been, on hardware and software.
The remakes they do have are just like all the 'Something Something HD" makes on the XBLA and PSN and Wiimakes like RE4; to show off how much better the hardware features (3D) make a game of known good quality.
