Was the GameCube sold at a profit? If so thats surely considered a success even though it only sold 22ish million? Like you say it all comes down to profit but this is a sales site so no doubt we're gonna argue numbers right |
Gamecube was sold at profit :) Only had 22 million hardware sales but over 200 million software sales which is amazing. Back then though, Nintendo was much smaller and the yen didn't cause them problem. Now, Nintendo is bigger so expenses have risen and the yen did cause them headache throughout 2011 and the first half of 2012. Mid November and December of this year have been great for Nintendo due to the yen returning to 'normal' levels. Profits this quarter for sure.
