I doubt Nintendo will be losing a lot per console. Does it expand on the $349 model?

I cannot believe that they are losing money with 349 dollars!  A console that is a bit bigger than the wii and a bit stronger. A game pad which cost 40 bucks to make probably, packaging, transportation, and a game.

Like someone said, the strong yen is makin things tough. Nintendo should be in good hands in time though.
