GameCube was sold a loss twice in its life cycle, once at launch (roughly $10-$20 loss/unit IIRC) and again when they dropped to $99 initially.

Proof of loss at launch?  Any links that quote reputable sources?

I only ask because this is the first I've ever heard of it.  And I've searched far and wide online in the past for factoids like that. 

Thanks.

I am the source.   And it was $9 for during the initial launch quarter.

I've not been able to track down any modern sources and most reports from the sources I read back then (and my own written article) are no longer online.
