From 2014 I believe Nintendo said that they were making a profit on the hardware and the reason for no price cut in the west is due to the economy and if they did make a pricecut, they would not be profiting off it anymore. |
So you mean on hardware alone? If so, then they aren't making a profit on hardware (at least they weren't in 2014). The reason a lot of people think/thought the Wii U was being sold for a profit in 2014 was because of a misinterpretation of what Iwata said. In actuality, what was said was that no losses would be incurred that fiscal year, because they had already manufactured sufficient consoles to satisfy demand for 2014, and thus the loss had been incurred in previous quarters. I'll give you some sources when I get back home to my computer in a few minutes.
Now, the Wii U may later on have gotten to the point were hardware is being sold at a profit, but we don't know, and Nintendo hasn't said anything about it.
