Nintendo did make like double that in the same period, but don't forget they also had their handhelds selling at the same time so not all of that was from the Gamecube. |
I'm actually looking at older numbers but its impossible to disentangle the NGC from the GBA without some presumptions on splits of profits.
Oh well, its not a big deal. The NGC was still sold at a profit and had high software retention rate so it was positive, its just impossible to find out how positive.
The WiiU and 3DS are the first time when Nintendo launched with loss-leaders and the pain has shown over two fiscal years. Fortunately both are now cheaper to make than to sell by a decent margin on both ends.
