At first it was sold at a loss, as was the norm before Nintendo decided to rake in 2 billion a year. It is widely believed to be selling at a profit now and even though software sales aren't great, the development budgets are small so it is easy to make a profit. With the games only selling at $40 upon release and sometimes less with games like Patapon, licensing would probably be $5 tops.
