It is a known fact that console makers don't really make money on consoles

Sony and MS maybe. This is not true for Nintendo.

the original Wii was a fluke

Before the Wii released, Nintendo went on and on about red and blue ocean, and having a controller that non-gamers would find familiar and compelling. The system was purposely based on simplicity, functionality and interactivity. You 'Wii was a fad/fluke/whatever' people are so annoying in your attempts to discredit the console's success.

Concerning your first point it is fact Wii U has lost money from the start. Second point... you really dont have one. Just because thats what niintendo wanted to do doesnt prove it wasnt a fluke

The subject was on Nintendo's standard business model, not one specific console.

Yeah, whatever, people like you can continue with your belief that the Wii was just a fad or fluke if that makes you feel better.
