Actually I do know what I am talking about as you had to post other links to back up your claims as it wasnt in the first thing you posted. LOL nice try though but if I was wrong, you simply needed to quote the original article. You didnt so clearly I was right. OH but you said the entire gen it sold at a loss. It launched with a loss of 14 dollars. I doubt they didnt reducse cost enough over 4 years . I gave you credit for being right but you are wrong obviously. Maybe you should focus more on reading comprehension then insulting others. Even the links you provided dont prove it sold at a $14 loss the entire generation, but I find it amusing you are trying so hard to convince people it did. It shows you dont know anything about production. They all get cheaper over time, the price never stays the same.
No need to throw a hissy fit kid. Just post something relevant which is what you did.
And again you post something that isnt in anything you posted. Nowhere does it say they are reusing GC assets. it says clearly, because I quoted it Reusing production plants does not equal reusing GC assets. You could be right but if you want me to believe you, you will have to provide a link to prove it. Since your claims have all been proven wrong by your own links. Also buying the plants would be figured into cost of making the hardware but that cost would be split between anything they make at those plants.
Now try to be adult about it this time if you want to continue talking. I dont waste my time responding to people who think acting childish proves them right.

So much wrong in this post once again.
I provided you proof that the Gamecube was sold at a loss with the first link. You claimed that I had nothing to back up my claim. I provided you with two other links saying the following to support my claim:
''GameCube incurred a small loss with each sale initially''
''News has emerged that Nintendo will make a loss on each GameCube sold to the tune of 2350 Yen'' - supported by investing firm Merril Lynch
Production costs decrease overtime; however, due to the strengthening yen and low market price, Nintendo was still losing money with the Gamecube. Which is supported by the following:
''The newspaper also notes that Nintendo is currently losing ¥20 billion ($180.8m) each year on Nintendo hardware'' - 2004
The Wii follows much of the same architecture of the Gamecube and Nintendo used what was left in their inventory of the Gamecube + used the same production plants of the Gamecube in order to reduce costs for their next generation hardware - the Wii. Supported by the following:
''...Loss will be reduced by reusing the production plants for next generation hardware''
Everything I have said has been consistent. Once again, I suggest you tone down your attitude as I have done nothing but advise that the Gamecube was sold at a loss but the software attach-ratio was excellent, over 200 million software sold against a 21 million platform, making the Gamecube a good investment for Nintendo nonetheless.
Best Regards
