I dont really think they cost THAT much.As someone said in another thread, these estimates are usually on the higher end, and Nintendo could certainly offset some of the costs due to sheer shipment unit requested(the more you order to manufacture, the less each unit costs to make).Having said that, I dont think Nintendo is making any money off of them.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
