An excellent strategy.
On topic: games sell consoles. Wii U will get games. It will sell then. Not on Wii levels, but it'll turn a good profit. |
Games didn't sell Game Cube and N64. I don't know how many you expect the U to sell but if it's at SNES or NES levels you are going to be dissapointed.
As for profit? Ps3 lost money... they lost more money because they didn't sell as many as they wanted to... they lost even more money after that because they cut price sooner then they wanted to. Wii U is in the same boat. This is the first time Nintendo sold a console at launch and they definatly aren't selling nearly as much as they expected to sell (probably will miss their initial projection by 35%) and retailers and publishers are calling them out for a price cut.

GameCube and N64 were both profitable game systems. They made Nintendo lots of money. In fact, I would argue that games were the only reason GameCube and N64 sold anything at all.
PS3 is no comparison, it launched at $600 and was sold at a loss of over $100. Wii U is sold only at a slight loss, so it's really not a sensible comparison.

those systems didnt sell at loss like wii u
