Life is like a clogged toilet. It's full of crap until you do something about it.

Nintendo actually doesn't make a profit off the WiiU alone, they make a profit if they also sell 1 game with the WiiU.

True, but they actually made a profit off of their sales. When microsoft sells an xbox, they lose about $100 dollars. Nintendo makes about $10 off of a Wii U, and about $10 on a wii. Couple that with the decent amount of games being sold, and their profit margins are still flying higher than Microsofts or Sony's.
Ah. Still, that number is three I believe for the Xbox or PS3. Along with that, Xbox and PS3 games are $60 instead of $50 Wii. I'm surprised that the WiiU went down that route with $60 games, as well. I thought nintendo was supposed to be the nice company.
