How much do the platform holders earn/lose per sold console?

We have no idea since platform manufacturers do not specifically disclose such information usually ...

We only have estimates based off the costs of parts and shipping or revenue/profit ...

If I had to guess I'd be like this right now ...

30$ profit for each PS4 unit
20$ loss for every X1 sold
50$ profit apiece for WII U ?

That seems unlikely. If they were making that much per Wii U I'm sure they would have had a price cut by now to stimulate sales. A year or so ago Nintendo said they were making profit, but only because they stopped making new Wii Us and were just selling the ones they already have, that was awhile ago though so things may have changed since.

I'm always annoyed when people quote that (the article where they say that), and say "The Wii U is confirmed sold a a profit!"
