It's sold at a loss.


they sold 10m not bundled firstparty games minimum. so they must sell at a HUGE loss per console. that just cant be.

u have a source that estimates the manufacturing costs above 250$?

i cant find one. 228 or 180 are the estimates i can find, and both are from launch.

 

1. They have to sell 2 games per system to make a profit. They install base is 5.7 million, so they need to have sold at least 
at least 11.4 million first party software to make a profit.

2. Nintendo said themselves it was sold at a loss. My guess would be because of the GamePad.
