I see no reason. The WiiU basic is vastly outselling the Xbox 3 and PS4, which have sold a grand total of 0 so far this gen.

The Wii U is also losing more money than the Xbox 3 and PS4, they are losing zero dollars so far this gen.

Oh no actually Xbox and PS4 R&D is currently eating up a lot of money id imagine. Final phases and what not.

So the wii u is losing money from its r &D + from its poor sales while the Xbox 3 and PS4 are only losing from their R&D. Got it, Thanks!

No, you got it wrong. Sells less -> less shipments -> less money lost. Less sales mean less losses.

Sells less > less shipments > less money coming in > costs not falling at the same rate as your sales > higher losses?

I tried to reply to sales2099 within his own logic. No Ninty bashing intended

Care to explain why you think that? The deluxe outsells the basic 3:1
