I honestly doubt they profited on GC. They were selling Gameboy and DS like crazy at the time, which helped a lot.

They made a profit on every console sold (I believe), and games didn't cost anywhere near as much to develop so a game selling 500k would easily turn a profit for them. Why wouldn't it have?

They made a profit when it cost $99? And didn't it cost $199 at launch? I find that doubtful, considering its relative power.

I can't find a press release, but I remember them saying that the 3DS was the first console they'd ever sold for a loss, so I'd imagine so. Or break-even at $99, at least.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.
