Selling a system more than double of what it costs to make? I've said few times when the 3DS first came out that double the price of production is fine, but anything more is price gouging.

To answer your question, 50 dollars.

Price for raw materials=totals cost of manufacturing ans sales=no

Read back what I posted earlier to the other guy, I never said the sales price = raw materials price.

Let's clear up some of this fuzzy math here.

3DS selling at $250 = profit

You claimed that, that's more than double what it cost Nintendo to product it.

So, 3DS would cost Nintendo less than $125.

Now, Nintendo is selling the 3DS at $170 and are losing money on each unit.

That would mean it costs Nintendo more than $170 per 3DS unit.

So, who's eating up more than $55 per unit?

I blame WiiFit?
