Did Microsoft just force Nintendo's hand?

S.T.A.G.E. said:

If Nintendo didnt make the controller the way they did the Wii U would've been profitable from day one. They can still afford to drop the console down to $250 and still profit. Even the PS3 which launched at $600 eventually became profitable four years after launch and tweaking of the hardware specs.

I don't want to mess with your debate, but that sentence is not correct.

After those 3-4 years the PS3 was no longer sold at a loss, but that doesn't mean that the console has been profitable for Sony.
