Nobody can say for sure who is selling what with or without a loss.

All we have here is just speculation. All by all, it does seems that maybe the PS4 is the only one that is being sold with a loss. By this time Nintendo probably has reduced production costs of the WiiU

The major cost reductions in powerful consoles come from silicon die shrinks for memory, CPU and GPU. There have been and will continue to be no dieshrinks this generation. Storage and Blu-ray drive prices haven't fallen. Where is the scope for $50+ of cost reduction on the Wii U since launch?

And again Nintendo announced WiiU was being sold for a loss. October 24th, 2012 - Nintendo Senior Managing Director Yoshihiro Mori made the announcement that the Wii U will be sold at a loss during a press conference in Osaka.

Or are we just going to ignore Nintendo ever said this because Max the Wild wants us to?

You are something else. Keep trying though. I was talking about reggie saying they would profit off one game sold.

I sometimes wonder if you know english.

The console on its OWN is sold at a loss. Just because it takes a GAME to profit of the transaction doens't mean they are not loosing money on the console.

If they made money on the console and the game their profit margins would be even healthier.
