That is what i thought-  Can t find anything from Nintendo that says the Wii U is making money-  Yet you are sure that it is- based on????

 

Tell me this-  What makes you beleive the Wii U is making money?  Do you even have a hypothisis?  


Nintendo is extremly careful financially. the Wii U at this point is likely either making a little money or barely losing any. you won't find stores overstocked with the system, and you don't see the price point dropping/discounts because of this

simply selling more systems gives no gurantee that manufacturing costs will drop nor does the Wii U have a big enough sized library of software to really backup that plan of action. I think the library is fantastic but its not HUGE by any means and the only reason I can see for desiring to push a lot more system sales is if you were expecting to sell a lot of games (questionable at this point)

losing as much market hare as Nintendo has re theri home console is not good for the brand and it makes it much more difficult to bring whatever their next gen device to market succesfully   -  Nintendo s market share is at an all time low -   Companies, including Nintendo typically fight to keep their market share/customers for a reason-  Nintendo did not defend their console or market share as far as the W U goes -  The must have alot of confidence in their next console becasue it will take alot to win back alot of the market share they so easily let go
