| enrageorange said: To be fair the wii u price also takes into account advertising, r&d, packaging, shipping, labor cost, etc. Nintendo is losing money on each 3ds sold, there is no doubt they aren't going to do that with the Wii U as well unless it fails at its current price point like the 3ds originally did. So to expect equivalent performance to an equivalent priced individually made pc is a little out there unless they were expecting nintendo to sell the system at a loss. It would have been much more fair to compare the performance to an equivalent priced retail pc which will have similar miscellaneous costs that the wii u would |
A couple weeks ago or so an article was posted on here with a confirmation from Nintendo that they are selling the WiiU at a loss.
I also think the value of the YEN atm is the biggest problem facing Nintendo and perhaps Sony atm with their offerings.
