Given that we know the 3DS was sold at a loss at its launch price the losses on this must now be huge. The extra 4 million at $169 gives us $680m inrevenue and zero profits, massive losses on hardware (the loss will be the price cut plus some more). You could easily summise that the loss on the 4m consoles over the period is around $360m ($90 loss on each one), so revenue of $680m for a loss of $360m... madness. The extra 4 million at $249 would have given $1bn in revenue and still zero profits, but only small losses on hardware. EDIT* forget all that.... too early in the morning. |
They're making a slight loss on hardware now, they were profiting hugely at launch.
