In stark contrast to Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo generally sells hardware at a profit, but the recent 3DS price drop has clearly caused the company to reconsider that stance. At a recent investor Q&A, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata revealed he's not yet sure if Nintendo will sell Wii U at a profit from day one.
"I have no definitive information on whether we will sell the Wii U in the red or on the suggested retail price for the hardware at this stage. I hope you understand that we are trying to take appropriate measures to handle the various issues we are aware of concerning the launch of the Wii U."
