Please provide links to these "well known facts". The links you posted in no way show the Gamecube is profitable at any price point.
Whats the point? At least half of what this guy says is blatently wrong anyway.
2 arses.
I'll have you know I co-admin a not so popular DS gaming site and have access to newswires that general shmoes like you 2 don't. Most of what you see on websites actually comes from only a few major newswires. GamesPress being one of them.
I've been keeping up with the gaming industry on a daily basis since December in an attempt to draw hits to my website. I did post some links about the DS here back in December. But stopped 'advertising' right after that.
So it's been my job through about April or May when the lack of users no longer justified the effort. However, I still keep up with everything - DAILY - as a personal hobby of mine.
Any monkey knows that the GC has always been sold for profit. Even the slimline PS2 is profitable at $150US. It's only MS that made a rookie mistake and didn't own their own designs in order to find low cost manufacturers. A problem they fixed with the 360.
Instead why don't one of you 2 ass-clowns quote me some websites where it says Nintendo takes a loss on every GC sold. I'll see you in Timbuck 2 when you find one.
Oh and here's an article, just like the one from this quarter, once again stating that Nintendo PROFITS were hurt by poor Gamecube HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE sales from March of 2003.
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/news.php?aid=1689These quarterly earnings company statement are a matter of public record and break down where a company's profits and losses come from. They are available on Nintendo's corporate (vs. consumer) website. It is what investors look at to determine whether or not to invest in a company. Now you are going to tell me they could be lying to their shareholders and potential investors...and when MS posts a 171 million dollar loss in a quarter in the gaming sector due to losses it takes selling XBOX's that they could be lying too, right?
Ignorance is bliss. As is trolldum.
