@trainwreck, you generalized, wii u isn't being sold at a loss since 2014, same for 3ds since 2012... 3D and tablet were very expensive.... 3DS because of the 3D was priced at 249$ in the beginning, what an ''attractive'' price for a handheld console, slow sales were expected, I can't fathom what Nintendo was thinking!
The urgent price drop of 80$ made 3ds to be sold at loss albeit sales skyrocketed, anyway this was reversed, 3ds xl with same manufacturing cost with 3ds, was priced at 199$ and sold very well...
Perhaps Nintendo shouldn't have slashed the price so much!
For the wii u, tI talked previously about its coslly tablet controller...
Nintendo has a long history of being profitable, just three years of losses in 128 years... And don't forget ds and especially wii! they profited so much on them so that they can afford NX to be a bust ( and even more flops), NX would lose 500m at most! No need to worry yet, or rather why worrying? As far as I know you're not a Nintendo fan/gamer or caring about Nintendo in general, for the indursty's sake or the fanbase! Am I wrong?
P.s Better be profitable with 20m sales instead of losing 3-5 billion with 80m sales...
