Nintendo needs to make profit to stay relevant. That's all

So Wait...... . Let's say Nintendo makes $8 of every console sold ( Including transport and everything ) but it only sells 100 consoles is it truly relevant.

Considering the cost of marketing, design, production, and everything else, they would have to sell the consoles for a really hefty price (think tens of thousands) to make an $800 profit.

Or you're just joshing to prove a point. In that case, ignore.
