iwata has confirmed that the 3DS at $169 is generating a loss.

and the DS didn't launch in europe until march 11 meaning your comparision to the DS only includes 2 regions for most of those 5 months ...


I guess I missed that... I was relating to the many break down that were posted. However, I'd still wager its a small loss. Point taken.

I did note it was only in NA and Japan, however, it did launch during the holidays which, to me, out weighs the lack of any European launch greatly. NA in the Holidays is simply a monster.

i'd wager your right, a small loss.  i think the thing that is hurting nintendo more is that after 6,383,751 3DSs sold this year there have only been 9,606,683 units of software.  i dunno, i don't have data in front of me but that seems awefully low to me.
