| Ka-pi96 said: 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. |
It really isn't ...
The WII U is cheaper to make than what most people think and it really doesn't make any sense for Nintendo to lower the price either since they'll be wiping away with what measly profits they have left. It's a balancing act, they could choose to sell 650K more units in their lifetime at a 10$ profit or they could just stick with their current price which can net them 50$ a pop ...
The margins from the hypothetical former option is not acceptable at all for a company of a size like Nintendo with operating costs going upwards of at least 400 million dollars ...
