it is reasonable for all consoles (except the Wii was different I believe) to lose some money upon release per console. 

 

If I remember correctly, I think all Nintendo platforms have been sold at a profit at launch.  So I don't think it's just the Wii.

actually if I remember correctly both the N64 and GCN were sold at a small loss at launch, not more than $10-20
 and within a few months they were selling at a profit. In other words by the time they launched in the USA etc they were sold at a profit.
