As I said their were reasons for the hardware being priced so high. I named a few and R&D is another. I was simply saying their priced it to turn a profit. Microsoft who lost money on every unit sold still ended up being profitable only two years into its life span (Including R&D), are you saying Nintendo which sold for a profit needed to price the console at 250$ to break even? Of course Nintendo was making a crap load on each unit, they didn't need to sell many units to make up the R&D costs etc...etc... Again I am not saying Nintendo did anything wrong. Simply saying they turned a healthy profit off each unit sold. Which Reggie himself has said. Whether the console cost 70-150$ even if it cost 200$ Nintendo still over priced it to turn a profit. P.S- Any smart company is going to price something higher then it costs them to make so that they turn a profit. |
Sorry. I just so often saw those comments used in the cotext of accusing Nintendo of gouging. Glad to see you meant different.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
