Nintendo Profits $6 Per Wii Sold

[The Lost Big Boss]

At the moment I'm rather jaded by the Wii's lack of titles that appeal to hardcore gamers.

But congrats to Nintendo. Just please put more good games on your next console if it ever comes.

You just reserected a 8 month old thread

OT: Lets see 50million x 6= 300million. Nice profit now make some good games for once.

I actually thought they profited more than this. Huh I guess I was wrong.

Really though peripherals for the PS3 are expensive. A dual shock pad for £35 is silly.

I always found it a bit amazing that Sony and Microsoft don't make a profit off of the actual hardware.

Yeah really. It helps that they aren't just game companies.

that makes the kicker sony profited off my wii I guess since I had to get a new tv (a sony tv)because my old tv had a screen a bit to small for comfortable playing of it

Oh, look, this is ancient news...

But to all of you that are surprised that it's so little, consider that loss-leading (selling a games console at a loss, to make back the money on the games) has been a general business strategy in the games industry since the NES days or earlier even.

Making a profit on a games console is the exception, not the rule.
