Reggie said that, not Iwata. Moreover, from your own google search:

P.S. Making a profit only after selling one game means that they'd be, you know, selling the system at a loss. How greedy of them(?).

They've made that back with one sale.  And it's not all about losing money on hardware.  You're ignoring that at the time of release they saved around $200 by giving their customers a small upgrade that's closer to the last gen hardware than next gen. 

It was developed to entice gamers as a cheap next gen product instead of giving us something of next gen quality.  Before you come back with they tried something unique, the tablet like I said in another post you quoted is nothing more than the bottom screen of the DS.  Nintendo knows hardly anyone uses it for unique purposes.  Nintendo doesn't even use it for unique purposes.  They only released it because it was different and maybe they could lure in people to purchase it like they did the Wii.
