| The_Yoda said: The statement "sadly Nintendo never sells at a loss" is not entirely accurate. I believe it was the 32GB model of the WiiU that initially sold at a very slight loss. If memory also serves though 1 game purchase with the system put them back to profitable. I cannot remember if that had to be a first party game or not. That said, while it does set president, I find PAO's idea unlikely. It would be smart of them in my opinion but ... I share your skepticism. |
Not to mention the extremely dire 2003 situation that forced them to sell GameCubes for $99. The losses per unit must have been so large that it cost over half of their net profits in the following quarters.
But I don't see Switches being sold at a loss unless they're piling up in inventory like it happened to the GC.
