Kimishima said NX won't be sold at a loss and they plan to ship 10 million of these things within 2017. I don't think they'd expect a Nintendo console that's expensive to sell 10 million units in one year.

Did he really say that?

Yes, Kimishima believes that the NX won't be sold at a loss.

"We are not thinking of launching the hardware at a loss," said Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima during an investor meeting last week. "Selling at a loss at launch would not support the business."

He said this a while ago but I guess people never got wind of it.

Definitely the first part, but I'm not so sure about the second part.

Originally the NX was projected to SHIP, 20 million but was reduced to 10-12 million. That again is shipped, not sold.
