The fact remains that the first year sales were higher than any other console in history.


And Nintendo lost money. 

The Sega Saturn would have been the highest selling console in history if it was $1 too.


Nintendo lost money because they are poring MASSIVE ammounts of resources into development of new technology, all the while selling 3DS at a slight loss.  At this moment, 3DS is selling at a profit, Wii U will not sell at a loss unless Ninty has a TON of software ready to go.  I wouldn't worry about Ninty, they have massive cash reserves and will be fine unless Wii U becomes  the next Virtual Boy.
