[QUOTE="k2theswiss"]What you fail to understand is labor, packaging, shipping, advertising, development price, support and warranty all have a price Also and must be place on price toSolidTy
All consoles have those, it's not a Unique point for Wii U.
I don't believe or trust any company PR statements. Nintendo's job, like any company, is to sell their products. They need to build value in every statement they make.
That's fine, I know the game.
I take those statements from any company about their product with a grain of salt. Are they really losing money? Who f***ing knows or cares. I doubt it personally. Unless they give us transparency, it's all just PR to sell.
I was sold when I found out Nintendo was making a new console. I'm in, but don't expect me to believe the PR from Xbox, Playstation, or Nintendo execs.
You make a good point, but considering Nintendo has been very open about selling their hardware at a profit (at launch nonetheless) in the past I trust them to tell me the truth. They know a lot of people in the gaming community don't want to hear that they're selling stuff at a profit coz they'll get accussed of being "cheap". But they have still come out and admitted it. Even the 3DS was sold at a big profit and Nintendo was open about getting it back to a profit post-price drop.
I don't think Nintendo loses very much per Wii U, like $10.
