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.

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

I guess I should have been clear that I did not question the statement regarding not selling the hardware at a loss. It was the sales number that caught my attention. He didn't say anything about that as your link to a rumor proves.

I guess I should learn to use commas, I didn't mean to say Kimishima said 10-12 million. But it's numbers from manufacuturers. So it's something at least. in any case the fact that it won't be sold at a loss is more important.
