That article was making assumptions that Nintendo is taking a loss. Also, the source of the article had not only been removed but is somewhat dubious seeing it came from a site that typically caters to downing NIntendo (ie GameInformer with the Wii etc). I found another article from a more reputable site that seems more fair in translating Iwata's investor commentary: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2389406,00.asp hopefully this helps but until we see the books this march 2011. We will see how much 3DS (and for that matter the Wii) price cut had an affect on Nintendo's profitablility. In any case, if Nintendo was selling the 3DS for a small loss; one would assume it would still be less of a risk than the Vita which has more expensive components and therefore probably a bigger loss for Sony!!!
